A. Winterpacht et al., NONRADIOACTIVE MULTIPLEX-SSCP ANALYSIS - DETECTION OF A NEW TYPE-II PROCOLLAGEN GENE (COL2A1) MUTATION, Human genetics, 95(4), 1995, pp. 437-439
We have developed a protocol that allows fast and efficient mutation s
creening of the 54 exons from the type II procollagen (COL2A1) gene. T
he protocol is based on the multiple non-radioactive hybridization of
blotted single-strand conformation polymorphism gels. Using this scree
ning procedure we have been able to identify a new (Gly895 to Ser) mut
ation in the COL2A1 gene of a patient with a mild form of spondyloepip
hyseal dysplasia congenita.
