Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to validate a rapid and simple allele-specific PCR that genotypes TCF7/L2 rs7903146 (C/T) polymorphism with standard PCR instruments. METHODS: Two forward primers with variations in their 3' nucleotides were designed in such a way that each was specific for one of the two variants. They were combined with a common reverse primer into two PCR reactions. Specific...
