Rapid high-resolution melting method to identify human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) 3' untranslated region polymorphism +3142C/G (rs1063320).

ABSTRACT:

Background

HLA-G is a non-classical class I gene of the human Major Histocompatibility encoding molecules with immune-modulatory properties. Expression of HLA-G is being largely studied in pathological conditions, such as tumors, viral infections, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases, grafted tissues, among others. HLA-G +3142C/G (rs1063320: dbSNP database) polymorphism is located in 3' UTR of HAL-G and plays a key role in determining the magnitude of gene and protein expression. The detection of HLA-G +3142C/G polymorphism in the most published report is done through polymerase chain reaction followed by enzymatic digestion. Therefore, it is so interesting to develop a rapid and sensitive assay to genotype HLA-G +3142C/G polymorphism. High-resolution melt analysis (HRM) is a tech
