Abstract excerpt
We encountered DNA samples which showed a positive product using a long PCR-based method for the detection of CYP2D6*5, indicating deletion of the entire CYP2D6 gene, but the samples did not show a band related to CYP2D6*5 in either XbaI- or EcoRI-RFLP analysis. To achieve genotyping with accuracy, we performed a further genetic analysis to clarify the discrepancy. An unknown 1.6-kb insert was identified in a...
