Abstract excerpt
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal, dominantly inherited cancer-prone syndrome. Here, we describe a novel and efficient approach for screening mutations of two major HNPCC susceptibility genes, hMSH2 and hMLH1. The system consists of RNA extraction from whole blood treated with the translation inhibitor, followed by long RT-PCR of the entire coding regions combined with direct...
