[i] Control primers anneal to a sequence near the end of theHFE (HLA-6) gene. (ASP) allele-specific primer, (WT) wild-type, (VT) variant.
[ii] Indicates primer is labeled in an ET format with CYA as the donor dye covalently attached at the 5′ end.
[iii] Indicates the position of the acceptor dye on the ET primer with either a ROX dye for WT primers or a R110 dye for VT primers.
[iv] The HFECONFWD primer was labeled with either ROX or TAM acceptor dye.
[v] This number indicates the predicted size of the PCR product when a particular RVR primer is used.
