Abstract excerpt
The novel approach of blunt-end single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) has been applied in the analysis of urine samples from bladder-cancer patients for detecting loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of 3 polymorphic markers in the p53 gene. Of the 28 urine samples examined by SSCP analysis of b...
