Analysis of large genes for mutations of clinical relevance is complicated by intragenic heterogeneity, sensitivity, and cost of the methods available, and in the case of many conditions, specificity of the genetic alterations detected. We examined the FBN1 gene for mutations in people who had Marfa
Bloom's syndrome (BS) is a rare, autosomal recessive disease characterized by sun sensitivity, short stature, and predisposition to cancer. Although rare in the general population, BS is more common in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (German, 1993). The isolation of the gene for BS, known as BLM, ha
## Detection of molecular features such as K-ras mutations has been used to evaluate potential tumour markers in a wide variety of clinical samples. Here we have applied a recently developed highly sensitive method for detection of K-ras codon 12 mutations to colorectal and pancreatic cancer diagno
