AnEcoRI RFLP in humanAPC gene

Abstract

SummaryA novel EcoRl-restriction fragment length polymorphism in the genomic sequence of the human adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene is described. This polymorphism in the APC gene would be very useful for examination of segregation of the mutated APC gene in the kindreds of familial adenomatous polyposis, and also for studying the loss of heterozygosity at the APC region in certain tumors.
