Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) variability between individuals is the results of an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in intron 16 of the ACE gene. The I and D alleles differ for the presence or absence of a 288 bp Alu sequence DNA fragment. METHODS: The present paper regards the development of a single-tube High Resolution Melting Analysis (HRMA), applied to DNA extracted by buccal...
