Detection of three closely located single nucleotide polymorphisms in the EAAT2 promoter: Comparison of single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP), pyrosequencing and Sanger sequencing

Single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) is still a frequently used genotyping method across different fields for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) due to its simplicity, requirement for basic equipment accessible in most laboratories and low cost.
