Abstract excerpt
We developed a simple and rapid amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS) assay for the factor V mutation [R506Q] (factor VLeiden), which results in the autosomal dominant thrombotic tendency, resistance to activated protein C (rAPC). PCR primers within Exon 10 of the factor V gene were designed. A common upstream primer was paired with either a mutant or wild-type-specific downstream primer. The 3'-most...
