Mutations in the ATM gene are responsible for the autosomal recessive disorder ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). Many different mutations have been identified using various techniques, with detection efficiencies ranging from 57 to 85%. In this study, we employed short tandem repeat (STR) haplotypes to e

## For the Mutation Detection 2003 Special Issue Pyrophosphorolysis-activated polymerization (PAP) was initially developed to enhance the specificity of allelespecific PCR for detection of known mutations in the presence of a great excess of wild-type allele. The high specificity of PAP derives fr
The gene for ataxia-telangiectasia, ATM, spans about 150 kb of genomic DNA. ATM mutations are found along the entire gene, with no evidence of a mutational hot spot. Using DNA as the starting material, we screened the ATM gene in 92 A-T patients, using an optimized single-strand conformation polymor
Background. The Gs alpha (Gsa) gene can be activated to the putative oncogene gsp by specific point mutations at codons 201 or 227. Such mutations have been reported in growth hormone (GH)-secreting pituitary adenomas and thyroid tumors. To clarify the role of Gsa gene in human endocrine tumors, 197
