We describe a rapid and simple method for phenylketonuria genotyping which identifies five point mutations within exon 12 of the human phenylalanine hydroxylase gene. The method involves PCR amplification of the target exon and hybridization with a PCR-amplifiable synthetic DNA (universal heteroduplex generator, UHG). The UHG contains identifiers consisting of nucleotide substitutions and/or deletions, contiguous with known mutation sites within the target exon. DNA heteroduplexes are resolved by nondenaturing polyacrylamide minigel electrophoresis. Individual mutant genotypes are identified by characteristic banding patterns, in either homozygous or heterozygous states. The method may potentially be applied to rapid genotyping of any mutation or series of mutations within PCR-amplifiable genetic material.
