Method: Unusual polymorphisms at the 103 position (
K103R and
K103T) were shown not to compromise the
K103N assay, but polymorphisms at the 181 position (
Y181F/S) produced false positive results so the one sample with this polymorphism was excluded from analysis.
Result: Sample 11 had an unusual polymorphism (
K103T) which alternatively may have contributed to a false positive in the AS-PCR assay.
