Abstract excerpt
The mutation of serine128 to arginine in the CD 62E gene is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). We designed a new method to detect this mutation based on the observation that it is due to a transversion of nucleotide A561 to C, which abolishes a PstI recognition site. Two alleles, A and C, are easily typed when genomic DNA is amplified by PCR, digested with PstI, and separated on agarose gels. Among...
