Abstract excerpt
Conversion of diploidy to haploidy is a method that allows the generation of stable murine/human hybrid cell lines carrying selected human chromosomes in only a single copy. In this setting, it is possible to detect genetic mutations with greater sensitivity and reliability than in diploid cells. Using this method, we were able to identify mutations in the human mismatch repair (MMR) gene hMSH2 in hereditary...
