METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR DETERMINING WHETHER A SUBJECT CARRIES A DISEASE ASSOCIATED GENE MUTATION COMMON IN JEWISH POPULATIONS

摘要

Methods are provided for determining whether a subject carries a disease associated gene mutation common in Jewish populations. In practicing the subject methods, an array comprising a plurality of associated gene mutation probes is contacted with a nucleic acid sample from the subject, and the presence of any resultant surface bound target nucleic acids is detected to determine whether the subject carries an disease associated gene mutation common in Jewish populations. In addition, reagents and kits thereof that find use in practicing the subject methods are provided.
