C. Kraus et Wg. Ballhausen, 2 INTRAGENIC POLYMORPHISMS OF THE APC-GENE DETECTED BY PCR AND ENZYMATIC DIGESTION, Human genetics, 88(6), 1992, pp. 705-706
The gene causing adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) has recently been cl
oned. Three intragenic polymorphism were reported to be detectable by
single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis. Here, we describe an
assay using polymerase-chain-reaction-based amplification and subsequ
ent enzymatic digestion of genomic sequences to identify polymorphic s
ites at nucleotide positions 1458 and 5037 of the APC gene.
