There are a number of techniques available for the detection and characterization of mutations that take advantage of the flexibility and power of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (Table 1 ). Sequencing remains the gold standard, but it is not very efficient as a screening tool, in particular when evaluating large numbers of samples, or multiple or extended stretches of DNA. f the available techniques, single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP) appears as one of the most versatile techniques, amenable to automation, and optimal for screening for known or unknown mutations.
