Abstract excerpt
DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) is mutated in a subset of de novo acute myeloid leukemia patients and is associated with poor overall and event-free survival. Because routine Sanger sequencing of the 23 DNMT3A exons is impractical in clinical laboratories, we developed a high-throughput method using high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis, which identifies sequence variants by detecting subtle changes in the...
