Abstract excerpt
We have developed a rapid screening method to detect a recurrent mutation in the neurofibromatosis type 1 gene. Using gene amplification and hybridization with allele-specific oligonucleotides, we screened 97 unrelated affected individuals for the recurrent C-->T substitution in codon 1947. The mutation was detected in 1 patient and found to cosegregate with the disease phenotype in the patient's family. Although...
