Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Gaucher disease is a genetic disorder.
  • Nine common mutations are associated with Gaucher disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel reverse hybridization assay.
  • To simultaneously detect nine Gaucher disease mutations.

Main Methods:

  • Reverse hybridization technique.
  • Polymerase chain reaction-restriction digestion (PCR-RD) as a reference method.

Main Results:

  • The reverse hybridization method demonstrated high accuracy.
  • Results from the new method correlated well with PCR-RD.

Conclusions:
