Design and methods: Allele-specific PCR was combined with amplicon detection by dissociation curve analysis of SYBR® Green I fluorescence in a single step. Results: The presence of a particular mutation results in the amplification of a mutation-specific product and the dissociation temperature of each amplicon was highly reproducible. Conclusions: Homogeneous allele-specific PCR amplification and detection of multiple β-globin mutations can serve as a rapid and inexpensive carrier screening tool. © 2007 The Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists. | Source Title: | Clinical Biochemistry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/25627 | ISSN: | 00099120 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2007.01.003 |
