We describe a novel hemi-nested, allele specific whole blood PCR assay for detection of the factor V Leiden mutation associated with the plasma defect, activated protein C resistance. This assay utilizes 5 microliters of whole blood without prior DNA extraction. The hemi-nested design, employing an outer primer pair in combination with nested, allele specific primers obviates the need for restriction enzyme...
