Brief, DNA is isolated from buccal swabs followed up multiple PCR reaction to amplify regions containing functionally defined SNPs. The amplification reactions are treated with phosphatase and a single base extension reaction is conducted with the oligonucleotide adjacent to the SNP of interest. The reaction is desalted and then subjected to MADI-TOF mass spectrometry to determine the molecular mass of the extended oligonucleotide. The size of that product would determine the base added and thus the patients variant at that location. Each SNP is compiled into determining the potential functional output of the gene analyzed.
