Abstract: Methods are provided for determining whether a subject carries a disease associated gene mutation common in Jewish populations. In practicing the subject methods, an array comprising a plurality of associated gene mutation probes is contacted with a nucleic acid sample from the subject, and the presence of any resultant surface bound target nucleic acids is detected to determine whether the subject carries an disease associated gene mutation common in Jewish populations. In addition, reagents and kits thereof that find use in practicing the subject methods are provided.

Abstract: Methods are provided for determining whether a subject carries a gene mutation associated with Hereditary Hearing Loss (HHL). In practicing the subject methods, an array comprising a plurality of HHL-associated gene mutation probes is contacted with a nucleic acid sample from the subject, and the presence of any resultant surface bound target nucleic acids is detected to determine whether the subject carries a HHL-associated gene mutation. In addition, reagents and kits thereof that find use in practicing the subject methods are provided.

Abstract: Methods are provided for determining whether a subject carries a CFTR gene mutation. In practicing the subject methods, an array comprising a plurality of CFTR gene mutation probes is contacted with a nucleic acid sample from the subject, and the presence of any resultant surface bound target nucleic acids is detected to determine whether the subject carries a CFTR gene mutation. In addition, reagents and kits thereof that find use in practicing the subject methods are provided.
