DNA sequence derived from a heteroduplex fragment DNA sequence derived from a heteroduplex fragment.A heteroduplex band from patient no. 34 was isolated, reamplified, and sequenced. DNA sequence derived from a heteroduplex fragment.A heteroduplex band from patient no. 34 was isolated, reamplified, and sequenced. Note unambiguous sequence up to the arrowed nucleotide (T at nt 775 on the PIG-A cDNA sequence), then ambiguous sequence. By subtracting the normal sequence 775-GTCAGCAGACTTGTT from the observed sequence the alternative peaks can be clearly read as 778-AGCAGACTTGTTAC showing deletion of 3 nucleotides.

DNA sequence showing a 31-nt duplication DNA sequence showing a 31-nt duplication.An abnormal band from patient no. 24 was isolated, reamplified, and sequenced. DNA sequence showing a 31-nt duplication.An abnormal band from patient no. 24 was isolated, reamplified, and sequenced. The duplicated sequence is shown overlined. Yousef Mortazavi et al.

Mutation-specific PCR products Mutation-specific PCR products.Patient DNA was amplified with primers specific for the 5-bp deletion at nt 662 to 666. Mutation-specific PCR products.Patient DNA was amplified with primers specific for the 5-bp deletion at nt 662 to 666. The identity of the bands at 163 bp was confirmed by DNA sequencing.
