DNA from whole blood samples of study subjects was extracted through organic (phenol-chloroform) extraction protocol [40 (link)]. The primers for variants analysis were designed using Primer 1 software [41 ]. Four primers were designed for genotyping of each genetic variant. Two outer primers and two internal primers were designed in such a manner that they must amplify that region of the gene which carrying the targeted variants. Primers were also validated by UCSC In silico PCR [42 ]. The genotyping analysis for variants rs1553369874 (E14K) and rs1345511001 ( D39H) was performed through Tetra-ARMS PCR in Veriti™ 96-Well Thermal Cycler of Applied Biosystems™. Reaction mixture of 25 µl was prepared for every sample using Solis BioDyne FIREPol® Master Mix with 7.5 mM MgCl2. The primer sequences and parameters for PCR-reaction are given in Table 1. The amplified product was analyzed by agarose electrophoresis (2% W/V) under UV-transilluminator.

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
