Currently available polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping methods for point mutations in the mouse dystrophin gene can lead to false positives and result in wasted time and money due to breeding or treating the wrong mice. Here we describe a simple and accurate method for sequencing the point mutations in mdx, mdx(4cv), and mdx(5cv) mice. This method clearly distinguishes between wildtype, heterozygous, and mutant transcripts, and thereby time and money can be saved by avoiding false positives.
目前可用于检测小鼠肌营养不良蛋白基因突变的聚合酶链反应(PCR)基因分型方法可能会导致假阳性,从而导致因繁殖或治疗错误的小鼠而浪费时间和金钱。在这里,我们描述了一种用于测序 mdx、mdx(4cv) 和 mdx(5cv) 小鼠点突变的简单而准确的方法。该方法可以清楚地区分野生型、杂合型和突变型转录本,从而避免假阳性,节省时间和金钱。
