Abstract excerpt
Identifying mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variants in human diseases is complicated. Many pathological mutations are heteroplasmic, with the mutant allele represented at highly variable percentages. High-resolution melt (HRM or HRMA) profiling was applied to comprehensive assessment of the mitochondrial genome and targeted assessment of recognized pathological mutations. The assay panel providing...
