Abstract
This invention provides methods and kits useful for determining whether a subject is afflicted with a disorder characterized by the presence of one or more known nucleic acid mutations. The instant methods comprise steps of nucleic acid molecule isolation, amplification, contact with one or more catalytic nucleic acid molecules specifically cleaving a target sequence present either in the case of disorder or wild-type, but not both, and determining cleavage of the amplified segment(s).
