Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral leukocytes using a
MasterPure Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Epicentre Technologies, Madison, WI, USA). The 11q23.3 locus polymorphisms, namely intergenic variants rs10750097 and rs1729410, and intron variant rs3741298 of the
ZPR1 gene, were genotyped using a TaqMan
®Pre-designed SNP Genotyping Assay Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). The 20 µL reaction mix consisted of 1 µL template DNA (15 ng/µL), 10 µL TaqMan
®Genotyping Master Mix (Cat. # 4371355), 1 µL probe (TaqMan
® Pre-designed SNP Genotyping Assay), and 8 µL deionized water. The probe was diluted (1:1) in a TE buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.1 mM EDTA) before the reaction. PCR was performed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Genotyping was successful in 90–98% of participants; the accuracy of this analysis was checked by re-genotyping 15% of the samples, and the repeatability of results was 100%. The LDlink Tool (
