Abstract excerpt
Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis is a rapid and sensitive method to identify point mutations in a given sequence of genomic DNA. We tried to apply the PCR-SSCP to the diagnosis of adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) deficiency, which is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease leading to 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis. Genomic APRT genes, with or...
