Abstract excerpt
More than 500 mutations have been identified in the CFTR gene, making it an excellent system for testing mutation scanning techniques. To assess the sensitivity of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), we collected a representative group of 202 CFTR mutations. All mutations analyzed were detected by scanning methods other than the DGGE approach evaluated in this study. DGGE analysis was performed on 24...
