Abstract excerpt
Mutation analysis of large genes, such as MSH2 and MLH1, is time-consuming and expensive. We investigated the sensitivity and specificity of DHPLC analysis for the detection of mutations within both MSH2 and MLH1. Studies included a series of 46 patients affected by colorectal cancer from HNPCC families. We confirmed 19 changes previously identified by DNA sequencing and, in a blind study, an additional 16 rare...
