Description

Levy (1989) reviewed the then-known mutations in the PAH gene causing phenylketonuria (PKU; 261600), including a deletion of exon 3 described by Avigad et al. (1987) in Yemenite Jews.

Avigad et al. (1990) reported that a deletion spanning the third exon of the PAH gene is responsible for all PKU cases among Yemenite Jews. Using a molecular probe that detects carriers of the deletion, they identified 5 carriers among 200 randomly selected volunteers from this community who were not related to the known PKU families. Although the deleted gene was traced to 25 different locations throughout Yemen, family histories and official documents of the Yemenite Jewish community showed that the common ancestor of all the carriers of this defect lived in San'a, the capital of Yemen, before the 18th century.
