Abstract excerpt
We tested the use of a modified method of single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis for the detection of point mutations in the human ornithine-delta-aminotransferase gene. Using a combination of three different electrophoretic conditions, we detected 20/20 known mutations. In a p...
