چکیده
High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis uses real-time PCR instrumentation to interrogate DNA sequence variation and is a low-cost, single-step, closed-tube method. Here we describe HRM technology and provide examples of varied clinical microbiological applications to highlight the strengths and limitations of HRM analysis.

Development of a High-Resolution Melting Method for Screening R188H Polymorphism in XRCC2 Gene
Background: The High Resolution Melting (HRM) method is a new scanning method for detecting unknown changes in DNA and its advantages have persuaded researchers to recruit it as a screening method. Objectives: Here, we developed a HRM method to screen R188H SNP (rs3218536) of XRCC2 and compared the results with a well known PCR-RFLP technique. Materials and Methods: Genomic ...
متن کاملHBB FSC 36-37 (-T) Gene Mutation Detection in Carriers of Thalassemia Minor Using High Resolution Melting Analysis
Beta-thalassemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in the world population resulting from over 200 different mutations of HBB gene. Beta-thalassemias are caused by point mutations or, more rarely, deletions in the HBB gene leading to reduced (beta+) or absent (beta0) synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin (Hb). High-resolution melting of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
متن کاملDetection of Microsatellite Instability by High-Resolution Melting Analysis in Colorectal Cancer
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. microsatellite instability (MSI) is a molecular marker of a deficient mismatch repair system and happens in almost 15% of CRCs. Because of a wide frequency of MSI+ CRC in Iran compared to other parts of the world, the importance of screening for this type of cancer is highlighted. Methods: The most common MSI detecti...
متن کاملComparison of cattle BoLA-DRB3 typing by PCR-RFLP, direct sequencing, and high-resolution DNA melting curve analysis
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) represents an important genetic marker for manipulation to improve the health and productivity of cattle. It is closely associated with numerous disease susceptibilities and immune responses. Bovine MHC, also called bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA), is considered as a suitable marker for genetic diversity studies. In cattle, most of the polymorphisms are lo...
