Technical Information
Test Procedure: Help
DNA is extracted from the patient specimen, PCR amplification and sequence analysis of the entire coding region/ or indicated exons plus additional flanking intronic or other non-coding sequence. Sanger sequencing is carried out and the sequence is visualised on a capillary sequencer. Sequencing is performed separately in both the forward … View more
