Fluorogenic Probes to Detect the A-444C Transversion in the Leukotriene C4 Synthase Promoter

The September 2000 letter by S. Neemeshkanna, O. Landt, H.F.
Merk, and B. Blömeke, entitled "Fluorogenic Probes to Detect
the A-444C Transversion in the Leukotriene C4 Synthase
Promoter" (Clin Chem 2000;46:14389), contained errors in the
labeling of the LightCycler probes. The correct labeling is as follows:
The detection probe was 5'-LC Red 640-ACCTTATCTGTTCCCTGTCCCCAT-3' with
the 3' end phosphorylated to block extension. The anchor probe,
5'-CCAGGCTCCCGGCTAACTCCTCC-3', was labeled with fluorescein at the 3'
end. The authors apologize for this and for any inconveniences this may
have caused.
