A number of mitochondrial (mt) point mutations have been associated with inherited disorders. These pathogenic mutations are usually heteroplasmic. Here we describe the identification of three heteroplasmic mtDNA point mutations using the techniques of single stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP

To detect mutations in the thiopurine S-methyltransferase gene (TPMT), we have developed a strategy based on single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of the gene amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The sensitivity of the method was first evaluated by analyzing DNA samples fr
