Title: SSCP analysis: a blind sensitivity trial. Author: Jordanova A, Kalaydjieva L, Savov A, Claustres M, Schwarz M, Estivill X, Angelicheva D, Haworth A, Casals T, Kremensky I. Journal: Hum Mutat; 1997; 10(1):65-70. PubMed ID: 9222762. Abstract: Studies of the sensitivity of SSCP analysis usually have been performed under conditions contrary to the rules of quality control trials and have produced widely different results. We have performed a blind trial of the sensitivity of SSCP analysis for the detection of mutations in fragments up to 500 bp in length under a fixed single set of electrophoretic conditions. The mutation detection rate was 84%. In addition, we have identified a second mutation in nine samples. All these mutations are polymorphisms, including a novel polymorphism 1248 + 52T/C first reported in the present work.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
