title: Direct haplotyping of bi-allelic SNPs using ARMS and RFLP analysis techniques.
abstract: Haplotype analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is an important and rapidly growing approach for association studies. In recent years, statistical procedures to haplotype determination from genotypic information have employed in population studies. These procedures, even though some advantages for estimation of haplotype frequencies in large population samples, have limitations in the accuracy of the analysis. In this study, we have designed a reliable method for direct haplotyping of polymorphic sites using the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis techniques. We applied the method to determination of haplotypes composed of three SNPs within the paraoxonase1 gene promoter and found the approach can be used in many studies in population and in a variety of clinical settings.
