Abstract excerpt
Analysis of large genes for mutations of clinical relevance is complicated by intragenic heterogeneity, sensitivity, and cost of the methods available, and in the case of many conditions, specificity of the genetic alterations detected. We examined the FBN1 gene for mutations in people who had Marfan syndrome using three methods: single-chain polymorphism analysis (SSCP) with heteroduplex (HA) analysis,...
