We can detect the b-globin gene sickle cell mutation by using an assay based on the ligase chain reaction. The simultaneous amplification of the human growth hor-mone gene in the same reaction serves as a control for the amount of template DNA or amplification effi-ciency. Ligation products, which are biotinylated at one end and tagged with an arbitrary “tail ” sequence at the other, are captured by hybridization to “tail”-comple-mentary oligonucleotides immobilized on polystyrene microwells. The captured ligation products are detected colorimetrically by use of streptavidin–alkaline phos-phatase conjugate. In a study of 24 subjects, the assay unequivocally discriminated among normal, carrier, and sickle cell genotypes. INDEXING TERMS: hemo...
