To review historical and developing molecular methodologies used to detect single-base substitutions responsible for human genetic disorders.
Evaluation of restriction endonuclease digestion coupled with Southern blotting to identify the gain or loss of specific cleavage sites.
Assessment of diagnostic tracking through linkage to restriction fragment length polymorphisms in human genomic DNA.
Analysis of emerging molecular strategies designed to detect point mutations that do not directly alter endonuclease recognition sequences.
Direct mutation detection through restriction endonuclease site alteration is clinically limited, with sickle cell anemia serving as the primary routine clinical example.
Most pathogenic single-base substitutions do not modify restriction enzyme recognition sites, requiring indirect diagnosis via linked restriction site polymorphisms.
Technological advances are expanding diagnostic capabilities to detect base substitutions independently of fortuitous restriction site alterations.
