Abstract excerpt
Single-strand confirmation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis on MDE gels has been extensively used to detect BRCA1 gene mutations. In screening a large cohort of ovarian cancer patients, our group was not completely satisfied with the standard published techniques. Although conventional primer sets usually amplified well, we were able to enhance band spread and resolution by varying the PCR and electrophoresis...
