DETECTION OF ABL MUTANT BY ALLELE-SPECIFIC AMPLIFICATON

摘要

A method of selectively producing and amplifying a cDNA sequence of a target allele of a gene, wherein the target allele is a mutant allele or is a specific allele of a polymorphic gene, the method comprising: (a) providing a sample comprising an mRNA transcript of the target allele; (b) performing a reverse-transcription reaction to generate a cDNA sequence from the mRNA transcript, and (c) amplifying the cDNA of the target allele; wherein the reverse-transcription reaction is selective for reverse transcription of the mRNA transcript of the target allele over an mRNA transcript of an alternative allele of the same gene.
