Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Altered germline expression of genes may represent a powerful marker of genetic or epigenetic predisposition to cancer or other diseases. METHODS: We developed and validated a method of nonfluorescent primer extension that uses a single dideoxynucleotide and denaturing HPLC (DHPLC) to analyze the relative allele expression. We devised 5 independent assays for measuring allele-specific expression (ASE)...
