A new method for mutation detection is described, which is a technical advancement of the protein truncation test. The new technique is non-radioactive and highly sensitive for detection of virtually all sequence mutations, which lead to a stop signal or to the shift of the translation frame. The me
The protein truncation test (PTT) is a mutation-detection method used to scan for premature termination (nonsense) mutations. PCR amplification of the DNA or mRNA source material is performed using forward primers containing a T7-promoter sequence and translation initiation signals such that the res
