Abstract excerpt
Single strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCP) is the method by which mutations can be detected in DNA amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This method utilizes the fact that the electrophoretic mobility of single stranded DNA under nondenaturing condition depends not only on its size but also on its conformation. We examined whether this technique could detect five mutations that had previously...
