-LDLR Genotyping Mutant  - Rev 	ATA GAT TCG CCC TTG TGT CC
+=== PCR Primers ===
+* '''Primer 19799''' (Common Forward): 5'-TAT GCA TCC CCA GTC TTT GG-3'
+* '''Primer 19800''' (Wild type Reverse): 5'-CTA CCC AAC CAG CCC CTT AC-3'
+* '''Primer oIMR7770''' (Mutant Reverse): 5'-ATA GAT TCG CCC TTG TGT CC-3'
+=== Master Mix ===
+* '''DreamTaq Green PCR Master Mix (2X)''' - Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cat# K1081
+=== Additional Reagents ===
+* Nuclease-free water
+* Template DNA (tail lysate or purified genomic DNA)
+== Primer Preparation ==
+=== Stock Primer Preparation (100 µM) ===
+# Resuspend each lyophilized primer in nuclease-free water to 100 µM concentration
+# Store at -20°C
+=== Primer Master Mix (10 µM each primer) ===
+For a 1 mL primer master mix:
+* 100 µL of 100 µM Primer 19799
+* 100 µL of 100 µM Primer 19800
+* 100 µL of 100 µM Primer oIMR7770
+* 700 µL nuclease-free water
+'''Final concentrations in primer master mix:''' 10 µM each primer
+Store at -20°C
+== PCR Master Mix Preparation ==
+=== Per Reaction (25 µL total volume) ===
+* 12.5 µL DreamTaq Green PCR Master Mix (2X)
+* 3.75 µL Primer Master Mix (10 µM each)
+* 7.75 µL nuclease-free water
+* 1 µL template DNA
+'''Final primer concentrations in PCR:''' 1.5 µM each primer
+=== For Multiple Reactions ===
+Prepare master mix for (n+1) reactions, where n = number of samples:
+* DreamTaq Green PCR Master Mix (2X): 12.5 µL × (n+1)
+* Primer Master Mix: 3.75 µL × (n+1)
+* Nuclease-free water: 7.75 µL × (n+1)
+Aliquot 24 µL of master mix per tube, then add 1 µL template DNA to each
