Abstract excerpt
Allele-specific polymerase chain reaction is based on polymerase extension from primers that contain a 3' end base that is complementary to a specific mutation and inhibition of extension with wild-type DNA due to a 3' end mismatch. Taq polymerase is commonly used for this assay, but because of the high rate of nucleotide extension from primer 3' base mismatches documented for Taq polymerase, high sensitivity is...
