Methods: A TDI-FP assay system was set up in out lab. To evaluate this system, 220 healthy individuals were analyzed for the polymorphic sites at positions 460(G→A)and 719(A→G)of the TPMP gene using our new TDI–FP method. Results: Three TPMP*3C(G 460→G 719) heterozygotes were identified, TPMP *3A and TPMP *3B were not found. All mutations were confirmed by conventional DNA sequencing analysis. Conclusion: TDI-FP method has proven to be very efficient as a rapid and accurate approach for TPMP genotyping. TPMP *3C was the only polymorphism identified in this clinical samples we have registered.展开更多
