Method of detecting a predisposition to cancer by the use of restriction fragment length polymorphism of the gene for human poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase

摘要

The invention relates to a method for detecting the presence of a DNA polymorphism associated with predisposition for certain cancers in a human. This method involves analyzing the human chromosome 13 using a hybridization probe which will hybridize to the gene for human poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase wherein the probe is capable of identifying the DNA polymorphism.
