Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To perform preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of Leigh encephalopathy, we developed a rapid and reliable quantification assay for the percentage of T8993G mtDNA mutation and analyzed various specimens. METHODS: We prepared the standard curve by measuring serial proportion of 8993T/G cloned plasmid DNA using real-time PCR, and measured (1) mutant DNA (known proportions by PCR-RFLP), (2) single...
