Abstract excerpt
The minisequencing method is a cost-effective tool to study single-nucleotide polymorphisms in human disease. For this reason, a novel polymerase chain reaction multiplex SNaPshot reaction has been developed that targets 10 autosomal mutations in genes, or regions near to them, reported to be involved in iron metabolism: TMPRSS6, TF, and HFE. To validate this multiplex, 284 samples from unrelated women from the...
