Enzymatic DNA amplification and direct DNA sequencing were used to detect a mutation in the tyrosinase gene of an albino patient. Single-base change could be detected by direct sequencing. This base change (G to A) is thought to result in an amino acid change (Arg to Gln) in tyrosinase of the patien

A novel complex mutation with the presence of both deletion and insertion in very close proximity in the same region was detected in exon 8 of the LDL receptor gene from two apparently unrelated Japanese families with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). In this mutant LDL receptor gene, the nine bas
We have applied the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) technique to detect sequence variations in exon 9 of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene in individuals with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). A fragment containing exon 9 and 25 base pairs (bp) of the int
