“…A Japanese mutation index was then reported, showing the fi rst documentation of a mutation in exon 47 [4], which is located outside the "hot spot" central region (exons 39-46). Including two cases in the present study, most of the mutations in exon 47 previously reported were found in Asian patients (Table 1) [3,[4][5][6]. However, no functional analysis of p.R2508C in exon 47 has been performed.…”
