(A) PCR-SSCP analysis of exon 11 reveals a band shift in patients I-1, II-1, II-2, and II-3. (B) Sequencing of the normal and mutant alleles of I-1 identifies a single base deletion at nucleotide 1434 that causes a translational frameshift in the proline, serine, and threonine (PST) domain. Other affected members had the same mutation.
