Abstract:
Primer sets for amplifying target regions containing sites to be detected in the UGT1A1 gene by a gene amplification method are provided, wherein the primer sets can amplify the regions specifically. Three pairs of primer sets are used including forward primers consisting of the base sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 4 or 81, 21, and 42 as well as reverse primers consisting of the base sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 13 or 91, 29 and 48, respectively. The use of these primer sets makes it possible to amplify three target regions including parts where three types of polymorphisms (UGT1A1*6, UGT1A1*27, and UGT1A1*28) of the UGT1A1 gene are generated, respectively, in the same reaction solution at the same time.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for detecting a nucleic acid by which a target nucleic acid having a specific genotype can easily be detected even when many nucleic acids having different genotypes are mixed in a specimen without requiring excessive cost and without causing nonspecific priming and amplification of a nontarget nucleic acid accompanied therewith, and to provide a kit for nucleic acid-detection.SOLUTION: The method for detecting the nucleic acid including amplifying the target nucleic acid in the specimen by using a first primer and a second primer to hybridizing the target nucleic acid and a probe, and detecting a single-stranded base sequence of the target nucleic acid in the amplified product or the target nucleic acid is characterized by the addition of one of the first primer and the second primer for the replication of the base sequence of the target nucleic acid at the side of being hybridized with the probe in an amount of >3.5 and
