Detection of C1236T, G2677T/A, and C3435T polymorphism ofMDR1by amplification refractory mutation system PCR

Detection of five common CFTR mutations by rapid-cycle real-time amplification refractory mutation system PCR.

The Quantitative Amplification Refractory Mutation System

The amplifi cation refractory mutation system (ARMS), which has also been described as allele-specifi c PCR (ASP) and PCR amplifi cation of specifi c alleles (PASA), is a PCR-based method of detecting single base mutations (Newton et al., 1989). ARMS has been applied successfully to the analysis of a wide range of polymorphisms, germline mutations and somatic mutations. The technique has the ab...

Development of Cost-effective Tetra-primer Amplification Refractory Mutation System (T-ARMS) PCR for the Detection of miR-146a gene rs2910164 C/G Polymorphism in Breast Cancer

Evaluation of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and single nucleotide mutation in cancer patients and other diseases is crucial for genotypic characterization in order to select therapy and genetic counseling. The study aim is to develop and optimization for the detection of miR-146a gene rs2910164 C/G polymorphism in breast cancer. Tetra-primer Amplification Refractory Mutation System (T-...

Genetic analysis in cystic fibrosis using the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS): the J3.11 MspI polymorphism.

A new method of genetic analysis has been devised. The method, amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS), has been used to genotype the J3.11 MspI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) closely linked to cystic fibrosis (CF). The DNA sequence for both alleles of this dimorphism has been used to design ARMS primers. These allow genotyping of DNA isolated from blood, Guthrie cards,...

Multiplex Tetra-Primer Amplification Refractory Mutation System Polymerase Chain Reaction to Genotype SNP8NRG221533 of Neuregulin-1 Gene

Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder with symptoms such as hallucination, delusion and mental disorder. It is a complex disorder, in which genetic components play a crucial role in its pathogenesis. Among candidate genes for schizophrenia, Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) gene is the most important gene,  association of which with the illness has been confirmed in several studies. Single nucl...
