Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: As the genetic basis of many human diseases is being discovered, there is increasing need for the detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms/mutations in medical laboratories. We describe an innovative approach that combines PCR amplification directly on whole blood and real-time detection PCR technology (WB-RTD PCR). METHODS: We compared WB-RTD PCR with the method for extracted DNA-RTD PCR for the...
