PubMed, the Internet portal of biomedical and life sciences literature, indexed an interesting article, entitled Analbuminemia Zonguldak: Case report and mutational analysis (Clin Biochem. 2007 Dec 5). Authors are Caridi G Dagnino M Dalgic B et al, from the Laboratory on Pathophysiology of Uremia, Genova, Italy. To document a new case of the rare disease analbuminemia and to study the molecular defect responsible for the trait.Single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP), heteroduplex analysis (HA), and DNA sequencing of the 14 exons and their flanking intron regions. Our results define a new molecular defect in the albumin gene. To access the full abstract of the article, click here
