Abstract excerpt
Hereditary neurodegenerative diseases are connected with the expansion of trinucleotide repetitive sequences in genomic DNA. Molecular diagnosis of these diseases is based on the determination of the triplet repeat length. Currently used methods involve PCR amplification followed by electrophoretic determination of the amplicon size. We propose a novel electrochemical technique based on hybridization of target...
