Abstract excerpt
We detected a point mutation in the transthyretin (TTR) gene in a patient with familial cardiac amyloidosis by using PCR-DCP (DNA conformation polymorphism) analysis that is based on the diversity in electrophoretic mobility of single-stranded DNAs and/or heteroduplex DNAs in PCR products. The PCR products of the transthyretin gene were denatured in the presence of formamide and electrophoresed in a...
