Popis: Abstract Background Congenital dyserythropoietic anemias (CDAs) are a very rare and heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis. CDA II is caused by mutations in the SEC23B gene. The most common mutation reported in India is c.1385 A > G, p.Y462C. There is no simple and cost-effective confirmatory diagnostic test available for CDA, and therefore, many patients remain undiagnosed. High-resolution melting curve (HRM) analysis is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based technique applied to identify genetic differences and scan nucleic acid sequences. HRM can be used to rapidly screen the common mutation causing CDA II in the Indian population. Thus, we studied the use of High-Resolution Melting Curve Analysis to detect common mutation causing CDA II in the Indian population. Method 11 patients having SEC23B (Y462C) mutation causing CDA II are considered for this study. HRM was used to check the presence of Y462C mutation. To verify the accuracy of the HRM analysis, we compared HRM results with the results of Sanger sequencing. This helped us to confirm the diagnosis. Results We have described the clinical, hematological, and genetic data of eleven patients suffering from CDAII. According to HRM and Sanger sequencing, a homozygous SEC23B (Y462C) mutation was present in all patients, whereas a heterozygous Y462C mutation was present in their parents. Conclusion Our data showed that High-Resolution Melting (HRM) analysis could be used to rapidly screen common SEC23B mutation that causes CDA II in the Indian population.
