PCR typing of two short tandem repeat (STR) structures upstreams of the human myelin basic protein (MBP) gene; the genetic susceptibility in multiple sclerosis and monosymptomatic idiopathic optic neuritis in Danes.

Abstract excerpt

We investigated two short tandem tetranucleotide (TGGA) repeat polymorphisms upstreams of the myelin basic protein (MBP) gene. The region was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the two repeat systems were separated by cutting with the restriction enzyme NlaIII. The lengths of the DNA fragments were analyzed by vertical electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels followed by silver staining. We...
