Patent ID: 8021845

Claim:
A probe having a melting temperature sufficient to detect a single nucleotide polymorphism in the β2AR gene (SEQ ID NO: 1) at base 4265, wherein the probe is composed of the following oligonucleotide (P1): (P1) at least one oligonucleotide selected from the following (1-1) and (1-2) (1-1), at least one oligonucleotide complementary to a region extending from thymine (T) at base 4254 to be considered as the first base to any one of the 21st to 26th bases in the direction toward the 3′ end in SEQ ID NO: 1, with adenine (A) complementary to the thymine being the 3′ end, and (1-2) at least one oligonucleotide having a sequence identical to that of a region extending from cytosine (C) at base 4259 to be considered as the first base to any one of the 15th to 19th bases in the direction toward the 3′ end in SEQ ID NO: 1, with the cytosine being the 5′ end.
