Abstract

We report the development of a single-tube assay for rapid genotyping of the two mutations C282Y and H63D of the HFE gene, commonly detected by PCR-RFLP and responsible for 80% of cases of hereditary hemochromatosis. The method, named T melting curve analysis, discriminates between amplification products by their melting temperatures.
