Three patients with different deletions of chromosome 13 were reexamined. The abnormal chromosomes were microdissected. The DNA from these chromosomes was DOP amplified, labelled with Biotin and used for reverse banding by FISH. The precise breakpoints in chromosome 13 were defined which is a prerequisite for delineation of the different deletion phenotypes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
