17. A method of determining the amount of an allele in a sample of nucleic acid molecules, said method comprising:
performing primer extension reactions on said nucleic acid molecules, using a primer which binds at a predetermined site located in at least one said molecule, and determining which and/or how many nucleotides are incorporated in said reaction, and analysing said nucleotide incorporation information thus obtained in order to determine the amount of occurrence of said allele in said sample. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
