Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular haplotyping is a developing technology with great potential for use in clinical diagnostics. We describe a haplotyping method that uses PCR combined with hybridization probes. METHODS: We designed a LightCycler assay that uses fluorescence resonance energy transfer hybridization probes to haplotype the poly(TG) and polyT (TG-T) tract in the IVS-8 region of the CFTR gene. The reporter probe...
