Detection of allelic imbalance in the gene expression of hMSH2 or RB1 in lymphocytes from pedigrees of hereditary, nonpolyposis, colorectal cancer and retinoblastoma by an RNA difference plot.

Abstract excerpt

A number of phenotypes in hereditary disorders or common diseases are associated with specific genotypes. However, little is known about the molecular basis of phenotypic variation among individuals carrying the same mutation or polymorphism. Here, a highly quantitative approach was taken to examine a relative amount of mRNA from two polymorphic alleles with a coefficient of variation of less than 10% using an...
