Abstract:
1. Oligonucleotide probes amino-modified at the 5′ end having a sequence length ranging from 16 to 20 nucleotides, said sequence being characterized in that it comprises, at the centre, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the Kidd erythrocyte system which is specific for the alleleic variants of the gene coding for said polymorphism and said oligonucleotide probes hybridizing with said alleles, wherein said gene is the Kidd gene said probes having the sequence: (a) 5′-AmC12AGT AGA TGT CCT CAA ATG-3′ or (b) 5′-AmC12AGT AGA TGT TCT CAA ATG-3′.
