Phenylketonuria (PKU) associated mutations in phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene were identified by direct DNA sequencing in 46 PKU patients and members of their families from Kemerovskaya Region and Saha Republic. Mutations found included both widespread known mutations (R158Q, R252W, R261Q, P281L, IVS10-11G>A, R408W, IVS12+1G>A) and several rare mutations (IVS2+5G>A, R155H, Y168H, W187R, E221_D222>Efs, A342T, Y386C, IVS11+1G>C). We observed the increase in diversity of PKU-associated alleles in the populations studied, probably due to their complex mixed ethnic structure.
