  • Publication number: 20180037941
    Abstract: A method for detecting a genetic mutation is provided. The method comprising: carrying out PCR using a template DNA, a forward primer, a reverse primer and a wild-type oligonucleotide; and detecting an amplified DNA. In the method, the wild-type oligonucleotide comprises LNA or BNA, and on a DNA strand of the template, with which the wild-type oligonucleotide is hybridized, a region with which the wild-type oligonucleotide is a hybridized and a region with which the forward primer or the reverse primer is hybridized partially overlap each other, or the regions are separated from each other by 1 to 18 bases.
