The fluorescein-labelled (FL) oligonucleotide probes (sensor) laying over the polymorphism sites were designed to recognize the wild-type sequence in CYP2C9*2 assay and the mutated sequence in CYP2C9*3 assay.The acceptor hybridization probe (anchor) is labelled at the 5’-end with a LightCycler-Red fluorophore (LCR640).

The primers were adapted from PCR-RFLP method as described by Aynacioglu et al. [7].
