[A novel CD36 mutation T538C (Trp180Arg) results in CD36 deficiency and establishment of a genotyping method for the novel mutation based on sequence-specific primer PCR].

This study has identified a novel CD36 mutation T538C(Trp180Arg)(GenBank: HM217022.1), and established a genotyping method for the novel sequence-specific primer PCR. The novel mutation is rare in Guangxi and can cause type II CD36 deficiency.
