摘要: Summary The point mutation in the tRNA Lye gene of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from patients with myoclonic epilepsy and ragged red fibers (MERRF) was quantitatively analyzed after digestion restriction endonuclease Nae I PCR amplified DNA. Since is not part a site for commonly available endonuclease, introduced by using mispairing primer. percentage mutated mtDNA determined few hairs five members an affected family counting radioactivity fragments amplification labelled dATP.
