Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hair is a DNA source that can be collected easily and inexpensively from participants in epidemiological studies. However, there is concern about DNA quality and quantity. Therefore, we assessed genotyping performance of whole genome amplified (WGA)-DNA extracted from hair using the GenomePlex method and evaluated its agreement with genotyping results of buccal cell DNA from the same individuals,...
