A sensitive mutation‐specific screening technique for <i>GNAS1</i> mutations in cases of fibrous dysplasia: the first report of a codon 227 mutation in bone

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To report on the mutation-specific restriction enzyme digest (MSRED) method using paraffin-embedded tissue as a means of detecting GNAS1 mutations in fibrous dysplasia (FD), and to determine if any of the reported GNAS1 mutations in endocrine neoplasms, not previously documented in FD, can be found in FD. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sixty-seven cases of extragnathic FD were analysed as two groups, 1997-2002 and...
