Abstract excerpt
Allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR) has been used as a simple, cost-effective method for genotyping and gene mapping in research and clinical settings. AS-PCR permits the detection of single nucleotide variants and insertion or deletion variants owing to the selective extension of a perfectly matched primer (to the template DNA) over a mismatched primer. Thus, the mismatch discrimination power of the DNA polymerase is...
