Abstract excerpt
The polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method is a powerful tool for the screening of genetic alterations, including single-base substitutions. In the present study, the conventional SSCP technique was modified on the semiautomated electrophoresis system (PhastSystem) for the detection of mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. The SSCP running conditions were...
