Abstract excerpt
We have developed a new method for preimplantation diagnosis of inherited diseases. Our procedure for the identification of point mutations in single cells combines whole-genome amplification using 15-mer random primers (primer extension preamplification, PEP) with a single locus-specific PCR amp...
