hepatitis c virus (hcv) is a major global health problem and one of the most common causes of chronic liver diseases. the current study was carried out to investigate the ability of high resolution melting (hrm) method in hcv genotyping. 40 hcv-positive sera with unknown and 12 sera with known hcv genotypes were collected from different clinical laboratories in tehran as well as rasht in north ...

background: tuberculosis is one of the infectious diseases worldwide that has resurgence by the aids epidemic and led to the rise of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients. thus, it seems essential to monitor the drug susceptibility in tuberculosis patients. the new high resolution melting (hrm) method is simple, rapid and inexpensive for detection of the mutations responsible for drug resistance...

myelodysplastic syndromes (mdss) are a clonal bone marrow (bm) disease characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, dysplastic maturation and progression to acute myeloid leukemia (aml). methylation silencing of hrk has been found in several human malignancies. in this study, we explored the association of hrk methylation status with its expression, clinical parameters and mds subtypes in mds pa...

background: asthma is caused by the combination of different factors. current concepts of asthma pathogenesis emphasize on gene-environment interactions. mega-genome scanning projects revealed that different single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) are related to asthma susceptibility. rs7216389-t is one of them that is related to childhood asthma and its effect on childhood asthma severity has b...
