We can detect the SNP in the ?S allele because it destroys a DdeI restriction site, leading to DNA restriction fragment variation revealed by Southern blot analysis
Either two or three restriction sequences for the restriction endonuclease DdeI can occur near the ?-globin gene, depending on the allele. One DdeI restriction sequence is eliminated from the ?S allele by the SNP in the mutant allele because of a mutation in the double-stranded target sequence 5? - CTNAG - 3?. Suppose the wild-type allele sequence is CCTGAG, while a newly identified SNP is CCTTAG. Would this same restriction fragment analysis technique be appropriate for detecting this particular SNP? What other technique(s) could you use to identify this particular mutation?
