Single-strand conformational polymorphisms (SSCP): studies of the genetic polymorphisms of exon 4 of apolipoprotein C III.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:We used single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP). To screen for mutations/polymorphisms in exon 4 of the apolipoprotein C III in 45 patients with hypertriglyceridemia and 46 control individuals, single-strand conformational polymorphism was investigated using restriction endonuclease and amplification refractory mutations systems (ARMS). RESULTS:SSCP identified six patterns corresponding to six genotypes. We confirmed that the different genotypes result from the two polymorphic sites at positions 3175 and 3206 of the apo C III gene. Only three of four possible haplotypes were found in the study population. This resulted in the identification of 6 of the 10 possible genotypes. CONCLUSIONS:SSCP is a useful method to screen for both known and unknown mutations/polymorphisms and should have increasing applications in clinical laboratories involved with the study of genetic markers of a wide variety of diseases.
