Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the TMPRSS6 gene are considered the major genetic factors for iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA). Artificial clone libraries containing 17 known mutations of the TMPRSS6 gene were used to develop a high-resolution melting (HRM) assay for the detection of 17 TMPRSS6 gene mutations. The melting temperatures and melting curves were able to distinguish the different genotypes of the 17...
