Detection of mutations in GC-rich DNA by bisulphite denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis.
Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) in combination with PCR and 'GC-clamping' has proven highly efficient as a method for detection of DNA sequence differences. Due to strand dissociation phenomena, however, its use has been limited to the analysis of sequences with a relatively low content of GC pairs. This paper describes how treatment of template DNA with sodium bisulphite drastic...
متن کاملDetection of mitochondrial DNA mutations by temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis.
BACKGROUND A unique requirement for the molecular diagnosis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders is the ability to detect heteroplasmic mtDNA mutations and to distinguish them from homoplasmic sequence variations before further testing (e.g., sequencing) is performed. We evaluated the potential utility of temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TTGE) for these purposes in patients ...
متن کاملInvestigation of LRTOMT gene (locus DFNB63) mutations in Iranian patients with autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss
Hearing loss (HL) is the most frequent sensory defect affecting 1 in 1000 neonates. This can occur due to genetic or environmental causes or both. The genetic causes are very heterogenous and over 100 loci have been identified to cause autosomal recessive non - syndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL). The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of the LRTOMT gene mutations in causing ARNSHL...
متن کاملUsing a Temperature Gradient against the Time in Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis May Eliminate the Need for Stacking Gels
Background and Objectives: Making stacking gels for polyacrylamide gels in the laboratory by conventional methods is laborious and time consuming. Considering the role of temperature in polyacrylamide gels with respect to electrical resistance and viscosity, we assumed that decreasing the temperature would cause an increase in electrical resistance and viscosity. Ultimately, a downward tempera...
متن کاملRapid Detection of rpoB Mutations in Rifampin Resistant M. tuberculosis from Sputum Samples by Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis
OBJECTIVE To establish a rapid detection method for identifying rpoB mutations associated with rifampin (RIF) resistance in sputum specimens. METHODS We detected rpoB mutations directly in 90 sputum specimens collected from suspected tuberculosis patients using PCR-based denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and compared these results with those obtained by rpoB sequencing and conven...
