Popis: A rapid, robust and widely applicable mutation detection scheme not requiring radioactivity or gel-based detection is introduced. It is a single-tube, competitive oligonucleotide single-base extension (COSBE) reaction using a pair of primers with the 3′-terminal base complementary to either the normal or mutant allele. Upon hybridization and addition of a polymerase and the nucleotide triphosphate corresponding to the next base after the primer, only those primers properly annealed (i.e., no 3′-terminal mismatch) are extended; products are resolved by molecular weight shifts as determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (single-scan spectrum acquisition <
