One-base substitution has been detected on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products amplified from human mutated DNA for the first time by using mass spectrometry. PCR fragments of 52 base pairs were produced on a collagen gene of an osteogenesis imperfecta patient's heterozygous DNAs. The produ

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Up to the current time, diagnosis of bone marrow (BM) involvement in nonβHodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has been based on morphologic findings. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for antigen receptor gene rearrangements has the potential to increase the detection sensitivity of mini
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a quite sensitive diagnostic tool but its specificity may be hampered because of contamination of foreign DNA. In order to determine the diagnostic accuracy of PCR in diseases due to gross gene deletion, a total of 180 fetuses at risk of homozygous South-East A
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation without cutaneous vesicles (zoster sine herpete) has been demonstrated in 8 to 25% of patients with acute peripheral facial palsy (APFP) by serological methods. To make an early diagnosis of zoster sine herpete, VZV DNA in oropharyngeal swabs from patients w
