Popis: To find genes that underlie disease susceptibilities, genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been analyzed using high-throughput matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry (MS). As a proof-of-concept for this approach, gene regions have been identified that were previously associated by others with certain diseases or traits. On the same technology platform, accurate and absolute transcriptional profiling can be performed and applied to allele expression analysis. Here, we provide a brief review of the technology and its applications to disease gene discovery.
