Abstract: AIM: To establish an allele-specific PCR method to genotype ABCG2 34 G>A polymorphism and verify it using 100 healthy subjects gDNA samples. METHODS: Allele-specific PCR primers with or without an additional mismatch nucleotide artificially introduced within the two bases closest to the 3' end were designed, and with different primer pairs, AS-PCR was used to detect ABCG2 34 allele of 100 gDNA samples. The Genotyping results were compared to pyrosequencing results of the same samples we did before. RESULTS: The discrimination ability of 34F/34Rn2 primer pairs was significantly better than the others, and the frequency of ABCG2 34AA, 34GA and 34GG of the 100 gDNA samples were 7%, 32% and 61% respectively, which was consistent with pyrosequencing. CONCLUSION: The results suggest the discrimination ability of AS-PCR method established in this study has been greatly improved and that will facilitate this time-saving, rapid and inexpensive technique into clinical application.
