Apolipoprotein-E genotyping in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded post-mortem brain tissue
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) brain tissue held in tissue banks constitutes a valuable research resource, especially when associated with clinical annotations and longitudinal psychometric testing. Apolipoprotein-E (APOE) genotyping is important to fully characterise this resource, however older FFPE tissue may not be suitable for genotyping. We performed polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assays on DNA extracted from post-mortem FFPE brain tissue ranging from 2-19 years old. A maximum of three years in paraffin was determined for robust APOE genotyping of FFPE tissue using PCR-RFLP which may suggest prolonged storage of fixed tissue as FFPE blocks may have deleterious effects on DNA.
期刊介绍:
Brain Pathology is the journal of choice for biomedical scientists investigating diseases of the nervous system. The official journal of the International Society of Neuropathology, Brain Pathology is a peer-reviewed quarterly publication that includes original research, review articles and symposia focuses on the pathogenesis of neurological disease.
