Simple and rapid detection of uncoupling protein-2 - 866G/A polymorphism by mutagenically separated polymerase chain reaction.

Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry - 1 Jun 2004

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2), a recently identified member of the mitochondrial transporter superfamily, is a candidate gene for obesity. A common G/A polymorphism in the UCP2 promoter region is associated with enhanced adipose tissue mRNA expression in vivo. METHODS: We developed a rapid and simple method, mutagenically separated polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR) for genotyping UCP2 - 866G/A...
