“…In the study of the Factor V Leiden mutation, previous work has used a wide range of detection methods other than gel electrophoresis (Reuner et al, 1997;Tripodi et al, 1997), to detect the PCR products produced by RFLP, SSCP (Arruda et al, 1996;Margaglione, 1996;Geisel et al, 1998), df-ARMS (Maher et al, 1999), and heteroduplexes (Bowen et al, 1997). These include chemiluminescence (Ballering et al, 1996), electrochemiluminescence (Klingler et al, 1999), colored primers for photoimmobilized locked samples (Orum et al, 1999), colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-type assays (Wilde et al, 1999), fluorescence for melting curves (Lyondagger et al, 1998), cross-linked hybrids , PNA (Behn and Schuermann, 1998), enzyme immunoassay (Vary et al, 1996), enzyme immunoassay with LCx microparticles (Hunault et al, 1999), microtitration plate-based oligonucleotide hybridization , the Invader technique (Ryan et al, 1999), NASBAR RNA amplification , and DNA ligation assays (Benson et al, 1996;Zotz et al, 1996).…”
