From Kwiatkowski et al., Hum. Mol. Genet. 11(5):525-34. 2002. A mouse model of TSC1 reveals sex-dependent lethality from liver hemangiomas, and up-regulation of p70S6 kinase activity in Tsc1 null cells. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11875047:

PCR genotyping was performed by simultaneous amplification of both wild-type Tsc1 and the deleted allele using the following three primers in a 35 cycle PCR reaction using Perkin Elmer AmpliTaq Gold: F4536, 5′-AGGAGGCCTCTTCTGCTACC-3′; R4830, 5′-CAGCTCCGACCATGAAGTG-3′; and R6548, 5′-TGGGTCCTGACCTATCTCCTA-3′ (Fig. 1D). Products were 295 bp (wild-type) and 368 bp (mutant), and were analyzed on agarose gels.
