Odc allelic analysis method for assessing carcinogenic susceptibility

   
   

The invention includes kits and methods for assessing the susceptibility of a mammal such as a human for carcinogenesis. The methods comprise determining whether the mammal comprises a certain allele of the mammal's odc gene. The methods include use of a probe which binds specifically with a portion of one allele of the odc gene and which comprises a fluorescent label and a fluorescence quencher. The methods also include use of such a probe and a polymerase enzyme for amplifying a portion of the odc gene, the polymerase having exonuclease activity whereby the probe can be nucleolytically degraded.

A invenção inclui jogos e métodos para avaliar o susceptibility de um mamífero tal como um ser humano para o carcinogenesis. Os métodos compreendem determinar se o mamífero compreende um determinado allele do gene do odc do mamífero. Os métodos incluem o uso de uma ponta de prova que liguem especificamente com uma parcela de um allele do gene do odc e que compreenda uma etiqueta fluorescente e um quencher do fluorescence. Os métodos incluem também o uso de tal ponta de prova e de enzyme do polymerase para amplificar uma parcela do gene do odc, o polymerase que tem a atividade do exonuclease por meio de que a ponta de prova pode nucleolytically ser degradada.
