Abstract excerpt
Single bp mutations in the RET proto-oncogene can cause multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndromes. The conventional approach for genotyping RET mutations is sequencing the exons. A closed-tube RET genotyping assay using a saturating DNA dye, unlabeled probes, and amplicon high-resolution melting analysis was developed. The method required two sequential polymerase chain reaction stages, a primary and...
