Primers for the multiplex tetra-primer ARMS-PCR for SNPs associated with breast and gynecologic cancers.

aUnderlined is the universal tag sequence at the 5′ end of the chimeric primers.bAllele-specific nucleotides at the 3′ end are indicated in bold letters.cSpecificity is increased by the introduction of a deliberate mismatch at position -1 of the polymorphism site, indicated by bold lower case letters.dA pair of universal primers annealing to the 5′ portion of each chimeric primer.
