Figure 3. Mutation analysis of the MIP gene.
(A) Sequencing results of MIP from unaffected and affected members of the family. The position of nucleotide substitution is indicated by a red arrow. (B) Phylogenetic conservation analysis. The result of a multiple-sequence alignment from various species showed that the Glycine at position 212 of MIP is highly conserved (marked in red). (C) A schematic diagram of the topology of MIP. Amino acid residue 212 is located within the 6th transmembrane domain (red circle).
