β¦ Synopsis
In vitro DNA amplification by means of the polymerase chain reaction is currently revolutionizing human molecular genetics. Since its inception in 1985, a wide variety of different methods and their applications in the diagnosis of disease have been described. This review is intended to serve as a brief guide to current and emerging possibilities in this rapidly expanding field.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allows small quantities of D N A or RNA contained in tissues or fluids (e.g., cerebrospinal fluid [CSF]) to be amplified and analyzed 111. PCRs specificity depends on the
The polymerase chain reaction is sensitive and specific in the detection of defined D N A sequences and holds promise for diagnosing the presence of fastidious microorganisms in human infectious diseases. We developed a methodology for nested polymerase chain reaction and hybridization analysis of t
