We developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis technique by using silver staining to detect the G-->A point mutation of intron 14 of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene, which is a common mutation in CETP deficiency. After conventional PCR, amplified DNA was heated and subjected to electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel containing glycerol. The gel was then stained with silver to identify DNA bands. With this technique, we examined 40 subjects with high concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (> or = 1 g/L) and found one homozygote and eight heterozygotes. The procedure is suitable for screening because it is quick and does not require radioactive materials or restriction enzymes.

Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment. RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D002352 Carrier Proteins Proteins that bind or transport specific substances in the blood, within the cell, or across cell membranes. Binding Proteins,Carrier Protein,Transport Protein,Transport Proteins,Binding Protein,Protein, Carrier,Proteins, Carrier
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
