Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in the RB1 gene confer hereditary predisposition to retinoblastoma. The majority of these mutations occur de novo and differ from one patient to another. Cytogenetics and Southern blotting were shown to detect less than 15% of constitutional rearrangements. In this study we used the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) to detect point...
