Abstract excerpt
We tested a conventional method based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and specific primers with one mismatched base at the 3' end to introduce restriction enzyme sites in order to detect mutations of the CYP21 gene without radioisotope. Using this method, the intron 2 mutation causing aberrant splicing of mRNA (In2G) and the exon 4 mutation (Ile->Asn, Ex4) in the CYP21 gene were analyzed. The nonsense mutation...
