  • Method of detection and interpretation of mutations through expression or function tests of haploid genes
    Patent number: 6818401
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detection and interpretation of loss-of-function or gain-of-function mutations for test genes of interest. The genes of interest include those associated with inherited genetic disorders. The present invention involves the process of obtaining a sample of genetic material from an individual in the form of tissue or cells, separation of the genetic material from the cells of the individuals into haploid sets by transferring the individual chromosomal entities into a population of target cells, and monitoring the target cell population for successful transfer and expression of the test genes of interest using various functional, immunological and structural assays.
