Abstract

Source: Kisserli, A., et al. High-resolution Melting PCR for Complement Receptor 1 Length Polymorphism Genotyping: An Innovative Tool for Alzheimer's Disease Gene Susceptibility Assessment. J. Vis. Exp. (2017).

In this video, we describe a high-resolution melting PCR technique to determine the length polymorphism of DNA fragments of varying sequence lengths, based on melting temperature analysis.

Protocol

1. HRM-PCR Protocol Thaw the DNA samples. Dilute the DNA samples in 1.5 mL tubes with water to adjust them to a concentration of 10 ng/µL NOTE: The total volume of diluted DNA should be between 2 µL and 10 µL. Thaw the primer solutions. Dilute the primer solutions in 1.5-mL tubes with water to adjust them to the same concentration of 6 µM. NOTE: The primer sequences and reaction conditions are provided in Table 1.</…
