We have developed a novel one step pool screening PCR procedure which is based on the principles of amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) and competitive oligonuleotide priming (COP) PCR. In addition to the usual primers, this approach uses two allele-specific competitive oligonucleotides, one of which is 3'-end labeled with a dideoxynucleotide and blocks amplification of the wildtype allele. An allele specific product is generated only in the presence of the mutation. The introduction of an allele specific competitive blocker oligonucleotide improves the specificity and robustness of ARMS PCR. Further its sensitivity is dramatically increased, which allows detection of one mutant allele in a large excess of wild-type-bearing genomic DNA by electrophoresis in an ethidium bromide stained agarose gel (up to 1 in 10(4) alleles). This makes the method ideal for nonradioactive pool screening. The successful application of the method has been demonstrated for four different point mutations, two in the apolipoprotein B gene (R3500Q, R3531C) which result in familial defective apolipoprotein B-100, one in the CFTR gene (R1162X), and one in the gene for lipoprotein lipase (G188E).
