## Development of late-onset Becker muscular dystrophy is reported in a patient whose two healthy brothers showed high serum creatine kinase level. No cases of neuromuscular disorders had been previously reported in this family. The analysis of the dystrophin gene showed that the three brothers ha

## Detection of mutations and polymorphisms in the p53 tumor suppressor gene by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis Deciphering the genetic mechanisms in cancer development requires analysis of a large number of tumors for consistent genetic alterations. Single-strand conformational p
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
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are X-linked neuromuscular disorders associated with alterations in the dystrophin gene. Analysis of 45 DMD/BMD patients has identified 18 patients with no deletion in the dystrophin gene. Heteroduplex analysis (HD), single strand
