Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Complete gene analysis of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) by scanning and/or sequencing is seldom performed because of the cost, time, and labor involved. High-resolution DNA melting analysis is a rapid, closed-tube alternative for gene scanning and genotyping. METHODS: The 27 exons of CFTR were amplified in 37 PCR products under identical conditions. Common...
