Abstract excerpt
CONCLUSION: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with a TaqMan minor groove binding (MGB) probe is useful for large-scale screening for the C1494T mutation. The mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) C1494T mutation has a low carrier frequency in Chinese patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss. OBJECTIVE: To develop a simple, rapid, and reliable real-time qPCR assay based on TaqMan technology using a new MGB...
