Latest Patents
Päivi Peltomäki holds a patent for a method to determine DNA mismatch repair function. This invention relates to a quantitative method for assessing whether a human subject has an impaired DNA mismatch repair function. The process involves providing a diagnostic sample from the human subject and producing a nuclear extract from that sample. It includes the use of MMR proficient and MMR deficient nuclear extracts as controls, combining these with mismatch bearing substrate DNA molecules, and performing a mismatch repair assay. The method ultimately determines the capability of the sample nuclear extract to repair the substrate DNA molecule. The invention also encompasses a kit that provides the necessary reagents for use in this method. He has 1 patent to his name.
