Abstract excerpt
Rigat and colleagues were the first ones to develop a rapid PCR-based assay for identifying the angiotensin converting enzyme insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism. Due to a big difference between the length of the wild-type and mute alleles the PCR method is prone to mistyping because of preferential amplification of the D allele causing depicting I/D heterozygotes as D/D homozygotes. The aim of this study was...
