Abstract

Background/aim: Sensitive and cost-effective detection of point mutations is important in genetics research. Denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) is known to be one of the most sensitive techniques for point mutation detection. A more recent technique, high-resolution melting (HRM), is based on the melting behavior of PCR products. In this study, the efficiency and sensitivity of HRM and DHPLC for the detection of MEFV, F5, and F2 gene point mutations were evaluated.
