Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To compare heteroduplex analysis with SSCP and to develop a simple and effective method for mutational screening of RB gene. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Leukocyte DNA was prepared from 12 unrelated Japanese patients with hereditary retinoblstoma. PCR combined with simultaneous nonisotopic heteroduplex and SSCP analysis was used to screen leukocyte DNA for such mutations, exon-by-exon, without the use of...
