List of oligonucleotides (5′-3′) used in this study.

The name of the target gene and position of the oligonucleotide is followed by the oligonucleotide sequence. (f) for forward and (r) for reverse oligonucleotides used for amplification and sequencing reactions. Oligonucleotides whose name finishes in number were used for sequencing reactions. (wt) for wild-type and (mt) for mutant oligonucleotides used for detection of SNPs by mismatched PCR (see materials and methods).
