Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The detection of 2 recurrent mutations in the BRCA1 gene (Ashkenazi Jewish and Dutch populations) was studied with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and melting curve analyses. METHODS: PCR products were designed around the 185delAG in exon 2 and the single- base substitution 2841G>T in exon 11. Hybridization probe sets were designed for both PCR products, with each probe overlapping the...
