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
