Abstract excerpt
We have developed a polymerase chain reaction method using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) for rapid and correct genotyping of the common Lewis (FUT3) gene mutations 59T>G, 202T>C, 314C>T, 508G>A, and 1067T>A. The PCR-SSP method was validated on 20 healthy blood donors and 16 non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients. All individuals were in parallel genotyped by our established polymerase chain...
