Applications of the method of high resolution melting analysis for diagnosis of Leber's disease and the three primary mutation spectrum of LHON in the Han Chinese population.

Abstract excerpt

Current screening methods, such as single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP), denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) and direct DNA sequencing that are used for detecting mutation in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) subjects are time consuming and costly. Here we tested high-resolution melt (HRM) analysis for mtDNA primary mutations in LHON patients. In this study, we applied...
