We give an overview of current methods for the detection of point mutations as well as small insertions and deletions in clinical diagnostics. For each method, the following characteristics are specified: (a) principle, (b) major modifications, (c) maximum fragment size that can be analyzed, (d) ratio and type of mutations that can be detected, (e) minimum ratio of mutant to wild-type alleles at which mutations can be detected, and (f) detection methods. Special attention is paid to the possibilities of quality assessment and the potential for standardization and automation.
Key Words: indexing terms: alleles • electrophoresis • gene insertions • gene deletions • polymerase chain reaction
