Figure 2.  DNA sequence analysis. A. Normal DNA. The arrow indicates the wild-type pattern with a single thymine peak at the second nucleotide position of codon 1307.B. Patient's desmoid DNA with germ line homozygous mutation. The arrow indicates only the presence of adenine at the second nucleotide position of codon 1307.
