Is High Resolution Melting Analysis (HRMA) Accurate for Detection of Human Disease-Associated Mutations? A Meta Analysis
BACKGROUND High Resolution Melting Analysis (HRMA) is becoming the preferred method for mutation detection. However, its accuracy in the individual clinical diagnostic setting is variable. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of HRMA for human mutations in comparison to DNA sequencing in different routine clinical settings, we have conducted a meta-analysis of published reports. METHODOLOGY/PRIN...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Melting Analysis for accurate detection of BRAF mutations: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The high-resolution melting curve analysis (HRMA) might be a good alternative method for rapid detection of BRAF mutations. However, the accuracy of HRMA in detection of BRAF mutations has not been systematically evaluated. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis involving 1324 samples from 14 separate studies. The overall sensitivity of HRMA was 0.99 (95% confidence interval (CI) = ...
متن کاملDetection of Microsatellite Instability by High-Resolution Melting Analysis in Colorectal Cancer
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide. microsatellite instability (MSI) is a molecular marker of a deficient mismatch repair system and happens in almost 15% of CRCs. Because of a wide frequency of MSI+ CRC in Iran compared to other parts of the world, the importance of screening for this type of cancer is highlighted. Methods: The most common MSI detecti...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of high resolution melting analysis for detection of KRAS mutations: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Increasing evidence points to a negative correlation between KRAS mutations and patients' responses to anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody treatment. Therefore, patients must undergo KRAS mutation detection to be eligible for treatment. High resolution melting analysis (HRM) is gaining increasing attention in KRAS mutation detection. However, its accuracy has not been systematically evaluated. We con...
متن کاملHigh-resolution melting analysis (HRMA): a highly sensitive inexpensive genotyping alternative for population studies.
High-resolution melting analysis (HRMA) is a highly sensitive closed-tube genotyping method used primarily in clinical studies. As the method is rapid, inexpensive and amenable to high throughput, we decided to investigate its applicability to population studies. Small amplicons and unlabelled probes were used to genotype the nuclear genes, lactate dehydrogenase-A (ldh-A), myosin light chain-2 ...
