DRD2 BclI Polymorphism

BclI site (located in intron 1, approximately 1 kb upstream from exon 2) (The TaqI (B) and the BclI sites are 12 bp apart.)

Template: Genomic DNA 100-200 ng/reaction volume of 25 µl

Primer 1.     RS3DWST3:     5'-GAT GTG TAG GAA TTA GCC AGG-3'        100 ng/reaction
Primer 2.     RS3BACK1:      5'-GAT ACC CAC TTC AGG AAG TC-3'          100 ng/reaction

dNTPs: Final Concentration 200 µM each

Buffer: Final Concentration 1.5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM KCl, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.4

Taq DNA Polymerase: 0.5 Units/reaction
                                 (Perkin-Elmer Amplitaq DNA polymerase 5 U/µl, Cat. No. N808-0145)

PCR Cycling Profile: 94oC (5')
                              94oC (30"), 60oC (30"), 72oC (1')  × 30 cycles

The applicons from these primers encompass two polymorphic sites 12 base pairs apart; if desired divide the product into two and restriction digest with both TaqI and BclI.

Product size:
                                Bcl I
                   459 bp--------------> 267 bp + 192 bp (in homozygote site present)
