In order to establish counseling guidelines and aid carrier risk assessment, we sought to establish the frequencies of cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations that are present in CF families living in the Ile de France region, a region notable for its ethnic heterogeneity. We studied 470 CF chromosomes in wh

More than 500 mutations have been identified in the CFTR gene, making it an excellent system for testing mutation scanning techniques. To assess the sensitivity of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), we collected a representative group of 202 CFTR mutations. All mutations analyzed were d
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
