✦ Synopsis
The apolipoprotein B gene is subject to mutations that may be important in coronary heart diseases. We have used polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to characterize a single nucleotide substitution in the apolipoprotein B gene. This mutation affects amino acid 4311 of the protein and converts asparagine to serine. It was found in 24% of the 81 unrelated individuals analyzed. Moreover, another mutation was detected by sequencing in a single individual.

A simple and rapid analysis system for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was investigated for the FUT2 gene using the temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) method. The 426-bp or 259-bp FUT2 fragments were amplified from heterozygous samples using primers, and the heteroduplex and homo

Gilbert's syndrome, due to reduced hepatic bilirubin glucuronidation is associated with the presence of two extra nucleotides (TA) in the promoter region of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1 (UGT1A1) gene.

The ATTTT repeat polymorphism located approximately 1,400 base pairs (bp) upstream from the beta-globin structural gene was analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of RNA:DNA duplexes. A study of 81 unrelated Japanese from Hiroshima revealed a sequence heteromorphism in this site.
