A Single Multiplex PCR and Single-Nucleotide Extension Assay for the Detection of Common Thanatophoric Dysplasia I and II Mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation analysis provides confirmation of a clinical and radiological diagnosis of thanatophoric dysplasia types I and II (TD I and II). We developed a single multiplexed PCR and a single-nucleotide extension (SNE) assay to identify 14 common mutations causing 99% of TD I and TD II, including the challenging three adjacent mutations in the stop codon of exon 18 of the FGFR3 gene. The assay design also provides a...
