title: [Extraction and amplification of DNA from formalin-fixed human tissues].
abstract: A method was developed for the extraction of DNA from formalin-fixed human tissues prepared for routine histopathological examination. The extracted DNA was not intact. By increasing the formalin fixation time the necessary amount of intact DNA decreased. The procedure reported here made the final product suitable for quantitative and qualitative analysis and for DNA-typing by PCR technique.
