Whole genome amplification of DNA extracted from hair samples: potential for use in molecular epidemiologic studies.

Cancer detection and prevention - 1 Jan 2007

Leanza Suzanne M, Burk Robert D, Rohan Thomas E

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Because of concerns regarding the quality and quantity of DNA isolated from human hair, such samples are often overlooked as a source of DNA for molecular epidemiological studies. Nevertheless, there are many potential benefits to using hair: it is easily self-collected; it does not require costly collection kits; it can be mailed for a nominal fee; and the hair specimens can be stored at room...
