Detection of point mutations in human tyrosinase gene by improved allele-specific amplification.

Abstract excerpt

Allele-specific amplification (ASA) is a simple and non-radioactive technique for detecting known point mutations that produce genetic diseases. Although this technique is based on the specific amplification of the target allele by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with allele-specific primers, the specificity of the amplification may depend on various PCR conditions. To avoid non-specific amplification which...
