Abstract excerpt
We discuss the definition of mutations in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) using a chemical cleavage method for detecting mismatched bases in patient mRNA: control cDNA heteroduplexes. The method is based on the increased chemical modification of cytosines (Cs) by hydroxylamine and thymines (Ts) by osmium tetroxide when they are not paired with their complementary base. The DNA is then cleaved at the modified base...
