Abstract excerpt
We screened a total of 100 unrelated patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) for mutations on exons 5 and 8 of the NF1 gene using temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE). Careful interpretation of exon 5 TGGE patterns was necessary due to interference by an exonic polymorphism. Three novel mutations were identified: a stop mutation in exon 5 (Q239X) caused by a C-->T transition at cDNA nucleotide...
