Just to tie into the discussion of LINE-1 sequences, the mutation in the enzyme gene under discussion was caused by an Alu sequence, a member of another repetetive DNA (aka junk) family.

Ah! But was it a Felipe, Mateo, Jesus, or a Moises sequence? (OK, bad pun. Bad, bad!)

Interesting . . . a "loss of function" mutation turned into a "good" mutation - I thought this "never" happened :-) or did I misunderstand?
