conclusions detection of drug resistance associated with mutations through real-time pcr by melting analysis technique showed a high differentiating power. this technique had high concordance with the standard proportion test and mas-pcr results. patients and methods in a cross-sectional study carried out in 2014, 90 patients with m. tuberculosis from five border provinces of iran were selected...

background herpes simplex virus infections are very common worldwide. the virus can cause infection in various body parts, especially eyes and the nervous system. therefore, an early diagnosis and highly sensitive method is very helpful. objectives the present study sought to investigate the efficiency of real-time taqman probe pcr in the diagnosis of hsv infection in suspected patients. patien...

introduction: the hepatitis b is a viral infection that causes a big problem globally. about 2 billion people worldwide are infected and there are now about 400 million hbv-dna carriers around the world. hbv infection is the ninth cause of death worldwide and infects about 350 million new cases each year in the world. hbv-dna can be spotted in different body secretions and fluids, including ser...

BRAF mutation testing is one of the best examples how modern genetic testing may help to effectively use targeted therapies in cancer patients. Since many different genetic techniques are employed to assess BRAF mutation status with no available comparison of their sensitivity and usefulness for different types of samples, we decided to evaluate our own PCR-based assay employing the amplificati...
