Abstract excerpt
Using 10 overlapping nested sets of primers and using peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) total RNA as template, we have developed a system, based on PCR, which allows the rapid production of double-stranded cDNA corresponding to the entire coding sequence of the dystrophin gene. The product can be visualized on native minigels by ethidium staining and directly sequenced after gel purification. We have used this...
