Abstract excerpt
This work present a short and simple method for mutation detection in type I collagen genes, based on the direct sequencing of single-stranded DNA. The sequencing of type I collagen genes is complicated and difficult because of their large size and highly repetitive and GC-rich coding regions. Although many techniques have been developed for mutation screening in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), they represent...
