Abstract excerpt
The apolipoprotein B-100 mutation R3500Q is one of the most common inherited defects causing abnormality of the lipid metabolism. We describe a one-step, single-tube PCR technique for detection of the mutation based on competition between allele-specific primers. Three oligonucleotides are used: two allele-specific primers differing in their 3' nucleotide (for the wild-type and the mutant allele) together with a...
