We screened patients with juvenile nephronophthisis for mutations of the tightly linked PAX8
gene. No disease‐associated mutations were found, but we identified the first known human
PAX8 polymorphism, F329L, in 1 of 15 patients and 2 of 20 controls. This polymorphic
variant involves a conservative amino acid change (phenylalanine to leucine) in the C‐
terminal portion of the PAX8 protein. Am. J. Med. Genet. 72: 186–187, 1997.© 1997 Wiley‐
