A novel PCR-RFLP assay for the detection of the single nucleotide polymorphism at position +1440 in the human CXCR2 gene.

We designed a novel PCR-RFLP assay to genotype for the CXCR2 +1440 (G/A) single nucleotide polymorphism, which provides a simple, low-cost, practical, and reproducible method. Allele frequencies in healthy Brazilian individuals were found to be 0.65% for allele A and 0.
