Abstract excerpt
We used the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)--a polymerase-chain-reaction-based method--to detect the 985 A-to-G mutation of the gene coding for the enzyme medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD). The 985 A-to-G allele is thought to account for approximately 89% of the mutant alleles in this disorder and at least one copy was reported to be present in 98% of affected individuals. ARMS provided a...
