Abstract excerpt
A series of twenty unselected Wilms' tumors were analysed for alterations in the WT1 tumor suppressor gene. The entire coding region of WT1 was amplified by RNA-PCR, and then screened for mutations by single-strand conformational polymorphism analysis (SSCP). This method was shown to be capable of detecting point mutations in the WT1 gene, by using an experimentally produced mutation. A single mutation, a 226 bp...
