Abstract
SOUZA, Gabriela Merheb de Azevedo; ROMANO, Nara Lúcia and WHITTLE, Martin R.. Efficient mispriming during apolipoprotein E genotyping. J. Bras. Patol. Med. Lab. [online]. 2005, vol.41, n.1, pp.25-28. ISSN 1678-4774. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1676-24442005000100007.
The determination of ApoE genotypes is a common clinical laboratory procedure. The most frequently used method involves a PCR amplification of the target region followed by a restriction enzyme digestion of the resultant amplicon to obtain a genotype-specific restriction fragment pattern. We describe an unexpected and surprising difficulty that was encountered during our routine laboratory casework.
