Searching for somatic mutations in McCune–Albright syndrome: a comparative study of the peptidic nucleic acid versus the nested PCR method based on 148 DNA samples
28 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Activating mutations of the Gsalpha gene (GNAS), which encodes for the alpha-subunit of the stimulatory G protein, have been identified in patients with McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS). Accuracy and sensitivity in the molecular diagnosis of MAS is mandatory for optimal therapeutic strategy and adapted follow-up, especially for incomplete clinical forms of MAS. To date, the highly sensitive nested PCR...
