Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is the key enzyme in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Defects in the TPO gene are reported to be the cause of congenital hypothyroidism due to a Total Iodide Organification Defect (TIOD). This type of defect, where iodide taken up by the thyroid gland cannot be oxidized an

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
Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was used in combination with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect sequence variations in the promoter region of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. On the basis of calculated predictive melting properties we designed primers to am
