Abstract excerpt
Screening for mutations in the BRCA1 gene is challenging because of the wide spectrum of mutations found in this large gene. As the extensive exon 11 is commonly screened by the protein truncation test (PTT), here a fluorescent multiplex denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (FMD) mutation screening technique was developed to test the remaining numerous small exons and splice sites of the gene. The method is...
