Table 7. mRNA levels and activities of POP in the lymphocytes of members of the Hungarian family.

The mRNA number of POP was measured by QRT–PCR. The means for three measurements are shown.

		POP activity [nmol of substrate hydrolysed·h−1·(g of protein)−1]
	mRNA number of POP	2.1 μg/ml substrate	0.15 μg/ml substrate
Control	20±5	25.8	1.45
Mother	20±4	31.7	2.02
Brother	22±4	23.6	1.14
Patient	30±6	21.2	0.865
