Detection of mutations in whole genome-amplified DNA from laser-microdissected neurons.

Abstract excerpt

Laser microdissection allows removal of individual cells for DNA extraction, but obtaining reliably amplified DNA from the small numbers of cells that survive neurodegenerative diseases can be difficult. We therefore tested a recently-available technique to amplify genomic DNA to see if it could reliably detect a mutation in nervous system cells. Fifty cortical motor neurons were removed by laser microdissection...
