Maternal uniparental heterodisomy for chromosome 2: detection through 'atypical' maternal AFP/hCG levels, with an update on a previous case.

abstract：:Deficiency of amylo-1,6-glucosidase activity was expressed in parallel in liver and skin fibroblasts from a patient with type III glycogenosis. In crude extracts of control liver and muscle, amylo-1,6-glucosidase (M.W. 164000) was identified by immunoprecipitation; no cross-reacting material was found in the patient's...
