Abstract excerpt
Critical steps in the methodology of mutation analysis on routinely fixed, paraffin-embedded samples have been evaluated, including extraction and purification of DNA, amplification of gene fragments in various sizes, and screening for mutations. The DNA was extracted from tissue sections with proteinase K, using various procedures, and purified. The mutation cluster region of the APC gene was amplified with...
