Abstract excerpt
Genotyping of the dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) locus in six patient samples, representing four normal individuals and two DRPLA patients, was successfully obtained using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). DRPLA is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder associated with the expansion of an unstable trinucleotide (CAG) repeat. The...
