We PCR-amplified and selectively sequenced the MAFB region that contains the transactivation domain in this 323 amino acid protein, where mutations were previously reported for MCTO.
Recently, heterozygous missense mutations in the V-maf musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma oncogene homolog B (avian) (MAFB) gene have been causally related to MCTO patients in 13 unrelated families investigated.
