Mitochondrial DNA mutations in Japanese detected by polymerase chain reaction--restriction fragment--single strand conformation polymorphism analysis

Genet Anal. 1997 Mar;14(1):17-9. doi: 10.1016/s1050-3862(97)01076-0.

Abstract

PCR-restriction fragment-SSCP (PCR-RF-SSCP) analysis of mitochondrial DNA by HhaI/HincII in Japanese revealed 46 polymorphic patterns. The determinations of nucleotide sequence of these 46 patterns revealed 56 mutations compared with the Cambridge Sequence.
