A simple technique for developing large control panels with large quantities of DNA suitable for studies in population genetics was established.Background and objectives: Both a lack of suitable controls and insufficient quantities of DNA for repeated analysis of the same control group often hamper the investigation of genetic markers for disease.Materials and methods: Using a waste product from routine blood donation, we describe a simple method that allows the investigator to extract large amounts of DNA.Results: A mean of 1520 mug of DNA per sample was obtained. The DNA obtained remains suitable for polymerase chain reaction and sequencing techniques after 2 years of storage at both 4degreesC and -40degreesC.Conclusion: This technique allows the development of a large panel of controls with sufficient quantities of genomic DNA for thousands of tests.
