	|   | 
                                                                
	| Gene | 
	HPS1 | 
	| Chromosomal Location | 
	10q23.1 | 
	| Allelic Variant 1 | 
	604982.0001; HERMANSKY-PUDLAK SYNDROME | 
	| Identified Mutation | 
	16-BP DUP; By SSCP/heteroduplex analysis and DNA sequencing, Oh et al. [Nature Genet. 14: 300 (1996)] identified a 16-bp duplication within exon 15 of the HPS gene, resulting in a frameshift distal to codon pro496, with termination of the nonsense polypeptide at codon 586. |
