Abstract excerpt
Previous approaches to mutation detection in mRNA from the neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) locus have required the PCR amplification of five or more overlapping cDNA segments to screen the entire 8.5-kb open reading frame (ORF). Systematically, these assays do not detect deletions that span the region of overlap (usually 1-3 exons) of any two consecutive target segments. In such cases, amplification from the mutant...
