| Résumé: | Due to its cost-efficiency, high resolution melting (HRM) analysis plays an important role in genotyping of candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Studies indicate that HRM analysis is not only suitable for genotyping individual SNPs, but also allows genotyping of multiple SNPs in one and the same amplicon, although with limited discrimination power. By targeting the three C>T SNPs rs527559815, rs547832288, and rs16906252, located in the promoter of the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (<i>MGMT</i>) gene within a distance of 45 bp, we investigated whether the discrimination power can be increased by coupling HRM analysis with pyrosequencing (PSQ). After optimizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions, PCR products subjected to HRM analysis could directly be used for PSQ. By analyzing oligodeoxynucleotide controls, representing the 36 theoretically possible variant combinations for diploid human cells (8 triple-homozygous, 12 double-homozygous, 12 double-heterozygous and 4 triple-heterozygous combinations), 34 out of the 36 variant combinations could be genotyped unambiguously by combined analysis of HRM and PSQ data, compared to 22 variant combinations by HRM analysis and 16 variant combinations by PSQ. Our approach was successfully applied to genotype stable cell lines of different origin, primary human tumor cell lines from glioma patients, and breast tissue samples. |
