Abstract

We have developed a mutation detection strategy that combines single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of one strand of a double-stranded amplification product with direct sequencing of the other. Using this strategy, which we find economical of both time and resources, we have identified a G to A transition, which substitutes a serine for glycine residue at position 862 in the major helix of the alpha 1 chain of Type I collagen. We use this mutation, which causes a lethal form of osteogenesis imperfecta, to illustrate the technique.
