Two of the patients in which we found disease-causative mutations have affected brothers, three in addition to patient 01, have potential carrier sisters, and all six have mothers who could also be carriers.
When a likely disease-causative mutation was found in each of these patients, no further fragments were sequenced for that patient.
Patient 01 and his carrier sister were shown to have a C->T substitution in exon 39 bp5762, predicting a nonsense mutation Gln->Stop, leading to a likely disease-causative truncation of the protein (Table 2and Figure 1).
In total, likely disease-causative mutations were found in six of the eight male patients and confirmed in the carrier sister (patient 01s) of one of the six patients (patient 01).
The second is a probable novel disease-causative mutation, 10015+5 G->A in intron 67, within the splice site consensus sequence in patient 08.
