Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The proportion of poor metabolizers (PMs) of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C19 is much higher in the Japanese population than in European populations. Cycling probe technology (CPT) is a simple signal amplification technique for targeting specific DNA sequences. CPT utilizes a chimeric DNA-RNA-DNA probe that is cleaved by the enzyme ribonuclease (RNase H). In this study, using CPT, we aimed to detect the...
