Sequence of the SNRPN exon 1/promoter region before (upper black line) and after (lower red line) bisulphite treatment (chr.15; 22750953 - 22751602; Human Genome Browser; htg18). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in primer binding sites are boxed. In the bisulphite converted DNA sequence the X represents cytosines on methylated alleles. Primer binding sites for different PCR assays are shown as arrows. The binding site of two MLPA probes in the SNRPN exon 1/intron 1 region is given in blue. MF, forward primer for the maternal methylated allele; PF, forward primer for the paternal unmethylated allele; MR, reverse primer for the maternal methylated allele; PR, reverse primer for the unmethylated paternal allele.
