Table 1. Primers and PCR conditions for amplification of TYR exons 1, 2, and 3

The 490 bp fragment amplicon of Tyr1bF and Tyr1bR was digested with the NlaIV (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA) to generate 3 smaller fragments (127 bp, 167 bp, and 192 bp) and subjected to SSCP. The 596 bp fragment amplicon of Tyr1cF and Tyr1cR was digested with the XcmI (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA) to generate 3 smaller fragments (168 bp, 197 bp, and 229 bp) and subjected to SSCP. The three amplicons of TYR were sequenced using nested primers. For exon 1, Tyr1aR (CTCTAGGGAAATGGCCAGCGG), Tyr1bF, and Tyr1cF were used. For exon 2, Tyr2bF and Tyr2aR were used. For exon 3, Tyr3bF and Tyr3aR were used. The PCR conditions used 2.0 mM MgCl2 except for Tyr3aF and Tyr3bR which used using 1.5 mM MgCl2.
