Abstract excerpt
A technique to determine epsilon 2, epsilon 3 and epsilon 4 alleles expressed at the apolipoprotein E locus (apoE genotype) is described. The proposed method is convenient for detecting this polymorphism on capillary blood spots. Capillary blood is collected on absorbent paper allowing transmission by post and prolonged conservation of samples. Even when the amount of DNA is very small, double amplification by...
