Objectives:
Developing robust HRM (amplicon High Resolution Melting) analysis valid for different commercial reaction mixes, using synthetic control DNA samples and the RotorGeneQ (Qiagen) instrument.
Design And Methods:
126 samples were analyzed for the presence of the factor Leiden and the 20210G>A prothrombin alleles. The four alleles were cloned and used to prepare synthetic controls.
Results:
All mutant alleles present in the sample were successfully detected. Genotyping confidence mean was higher than 95%.
Conclusions:
Cost effective HRM genotyping is very reliable using synthetic control DNAs and the RotorGenQ instrument.
