Abstract excerpt
DNA sequence polymorphisms in transthyretin (TTR) genes were investigated by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of polymerase chain reaction products. The amplified DNA fragments that encode each exon of the normal TTR gene showed two bands, representing the two complementary single strands of DNA. In one patient with amyloid polyneuropathy, the exon 3 DNA showed a unique, aberrant migration...
