Abstract excerpt
We have screened a total of 105 unrelated patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) for mutations in exon 28 of the NF1 gene using heteroduplex analysis and single strand conformation polymorphism analysis. One novel mutation has been identified and characterised. This mutation involves a 13-bp deletion (AAACTGGCTGAGC or AACTGGCTGAGCA) from base position 5077 (or 5078) to 5089 (or 5090) of the cDNA coding...
