    Abstract

    We tested the use of a modified method of single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis for the detection of point mutations in the human ornithine-delta-aminotransferase gene. Using a combination of three different electrophoretic conditions, we detected 20/20 known mutations. In a prospective study of 24 previously uncharacterized mutant OAT genes, we found 13 different mutations accounting for 19 (79%) of the 24. We conclude that SSCP is an efficient technique with high sensitivity and specificity.
