The use of DNA fingerprinting with synthetic oligonucleotides is illustrated for practical applications familiar in clinical diagnostics: pre- and postnatal zygosity determination and the monitoring of bone marrow transplantation. A simple method for non-radioactive detection is described which may be interesting for many diagnostic laboratories.
