title: Capillary electrophoresis of gene mutation.
abstract: This chapter illustrates the usefulness of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the detection of gene mutation, i.e., point mutation, methylation, and microsatellite analysis. In order to provide a general description of the main results and challenges in the field, some relevant applications and reviews on CE of gene mutation are tabulated. Furthermore, some detailed experimental procedures are shown. Several CE methods of gene mutation detection were developed including the following: (1) single-strand conformation polymorphism with capillary electrophoresis; (2) SNaPshot analysis; (3) constant denaturant capillary electrophoresis; (4) microsatellite analysis; and (5) methylation analysis.
