Bone marrow transplantation is a great method used to treat
several malignant and benign cancers, particularly leukemias.
Before transplantation (or engraftment analysis), several
polymorphic loci are screened in both the recipient and donor
cells. The main goal of this screening is to:

A DNA specimen was sent to your Molecular Diagnostics
Laboratory for DNA sequencing, in order to determine
whether patient A has a particular mutation in gene X. The
gene sequence is known. However, the gene mutation itself is
not known. Therefore, DNA sequencing cannot be performed
on this DNA specimen. (True or False)
True
False - <<<<Answers>>>True
