The sensitivity of the amplification refractory mutation allele-specific polymerase chain reaction system (ARMAS-PCR) to detect known p53 mutations was determined using DNA extracted from two human tumour cell lines collected by cytobrush, as a model for its use in exfoliative cytology. Using DNA ex

Several approaches may be applied to detect known mutations, including restriction enzyme cleavage, allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) hybridization or amplification, dideoxy fingerprinting, and direct DNA sequencing. All these approaches require several extra steps after PCR and may involve radi
Direct sequencing analysis is largely used to confirm and characterize mutations previously detected by more rapid tests. We have developed a method-Comparative Sequence Analysis (CSA)that simplifies the analysis of sequencing data facilitating its use as a first screen for mutation detection. Seque
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
Searching for mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes is important not only for presymptomatic diagnosis, but also for documenting the spectrum of mutations among families carrying predispositions to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). We utilized an automated two-dimensional DNA typin
