The ARMS is based on the use of sequence-specific PCR primers that allow amplification of test DNA only when the target allele is contained within the sample. Following an ARMS reaction the presence or absence of a PCR product is diagnostic for the presence or absence of the target allele. It can be used to analyze human genomic DNA for one or more mutations. IRO:0000006 metadata complete
