Abstract excerpt
Rapid direct detection of point mutations in hemophilia B kindreds was performed by analyzing the restriction fragments of the factor IX gene amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The family members of the two patients, HB 5 and HB 6, whose mutant factor IX gene had previously been defined by sequence analysis, were examined in this study. Since there are no restriction endonucleases available for...
