In vivo mutation at the human HPRT locus.
The molecular nature of mutations that arise in vivo at the human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) locus can be determined. A wide variety of such mutations can be detected, including large and small deletions, frameshift mutations and single-base substitutions, as well as alterations that cause aberrant mRNA splicing. Here, we review the available information on mutations at this locus.
