Abstract excerpt
A variety of mutations have been identified in the X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) gene, none of which is prevalent. In this work we describe a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-based strategy specially suited to the molecular characterisation of mutations in index cases. After RT-PCR amplification of the X-ALD transcript a conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis analysis is...
