| Popis: | Hemochromatosis is a common genetic disease, affecting one in every 200 individuals in the United States. A PCR assay was designed using fluorescent melting curve analysis to simultaneously detect the G845--A (C282Y) and C187--G (H63D) mutations. The G845--A and C187--G loci are distinguished by color, and mutant alleles are distinguished from wild type by probe melting temperature (Tm).The probe sets used two fluorophore pairs, fluorescein with LCRed 640 for G845--A and fluorescein with LCRed 705 for C187--G. The probes, complementary to the mutant allele, dissociate from the product at specific Tms. Wild-type alleles form mismatches with the probes, reducing the Tms by 6 degrees C (G845--A) and 10 degrees C (C187--G). One of 133 samples had a Tm shift 4 degrees C less than the wild-type Tm for the G845--A locus. Sequencing confirmed the sample to be homozygous for G845--A and heterozygous for a C--A substitution at position 842 (C842--A), substituting lysine for threonine.Multiplexing by color and Tm allows for simultaneous genotyping of each mutation. A novel base-pair alteration was detected in cis with a G845--A mutation. |
