2. Figure 1
Expected results for each FGFR2 genotype after cassette PCR with the use of major or minor allele primers. The principle of ASPCR (for rs ) is shown. Each primer is designed to match one allele and mismatch the opposite allele. In addition, a mismatch is introduced intentionally to the penultimate base to increase the mismatch.9 DNA amplification progresses where major allele primer matches with the DNA having the homozygous major genotype (A) and where minor allele primer matches with DNA having the homozygous minor genotype (D). DNA amplification does not take place where minor allele primer does not match with the DNA with homozygous major genotype (B) or where major allele primer does not match with the DNA with homozygous minor genotype (C).

4. Figure 3
Melt curve analysis of cassette PCR for each FGFR2 genotype, using major or minor allele primers. A sample with homozygous major for both SNP allele pairs (A), homozygous minor for both SNP allele pairs (B), and heterozygous for both SNP allele pairs (C), and negative control (D). Insets in each figure show the CCD image of the four capillaries tested for both SNPs. Melt peak temperatures vary between 0.2 and 0.5°C. Product identification was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing. Error bars show the SD from three replicate experiments. M, major allele primers; m, minor allele primers.

5. Figure 4
Buccal swabs are stable for cassette PCR after dry storage at room temperature. MCA curves are shown after amplification of FGFR2 templates in dried swabs stored at room temperature for different intervals of time before processing. Samples with homozygous major (A), homozygous minor (B), or heterozygous genotypes (C). M, major allele; m, minor allele.
