  • PTCH (Human homolog of drosophila patched)
The exons of the PTCH gene are screened for mutations first by a fluorescent bi-directional dideoxyfingerprinting (ddF) method. Any exon with an unusual fingerprint is subjected to bi-directional sequencing. We have found the ddF method to be a completely efficient screen, i.e. the method identified 100% of mutations found by sequencing alone. The analysis is done on genomic DNA obtained from EDTA blood.
