Abstract excerpt
We have developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based technique to detect allelic loss. In this differential PCR a target gene and a reference gene are coamplified in the same reaction vessel. The ratio of the intensity of the two resultant bands is an indication of relative gene dosage. This procedure is sensitive in that gene copy ratios of 2:1 and 3:2 (reference: target gene) can readily be detected. Using...
