The man's genetic defect appears to be due to the mutation of the promoter region of a protein X. This protein is an activator of an enzyme Y that detoxifies reactive oxygen species and free radicals. DNA sequence analysis using the Sanger method of the mutated region around the TATA box detected the following products: Normal With Genetic Disorder ddNTP +ddTTP tetranucleotide tetranucleotide pentanucleotide pentanucleotide heptanucleotide heptanucleotide +ddATP mononucleotide mononucleotide trinucleotide trinucleotide hexanucleotide +ddCTP dinucleotide dinucleotide nonanucleotide hexanucleotide nonanucleotide +ddGTP octanucleotide octanucleotide decanucleotide decanucleotide What base was altered and to what was it changed?
