Objective: To develop the Taqman MGB real-time fluorescent PCR assay for rapid detection of Dengue viruses.
Methods: Using Taqman MGB technique, a pair of universal primers and Taqman MGB probe were designed according to a highly reserved sequence of the 3'-noncoding region of dengue viruses type 1-4. Dengue virus strains were used as standard and Japanese encephalitis virus strains were used as control, the real-time PCR assay for specific and sensitive detection of the dengue viruses was established. While 8 serum specimens of ELISA positive were detected by the RT-PCR and fluorescent PCR.
Results: The sensitivity of real-time PCR was 0.17pg/microl (cDNA)or 10(-5)TCID50. There was no cross-reaction with Japanese encephalitis virus. Of 8 specimens, 2 were positive by RT-PCR and 5 were positive by real-time PCR. The test could be completed in 4 hours.
Conclusion: The Taqman MGB real-time PCR assay was fast, sensitive and specific. It could be applied to the quick early diagnosis of dengue viruses.

This study aims to investigate the correlation between the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 pseudogene 12 () polymorphism and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). This case-control study involved 850 patients with CRC and 850 health controls. The genotypes of (rs2880765, rs6496932, and rs8040855) were determined by the TaqMan-MGB probe method.

- * Researchers analyzed genetic polymorphisms and biochemical indicators, focusing on conditions like high HCY levels and previous adverse pregnancy experiences to see how they related to pregnancy outcomes.
- * The study found that factors like high HCY and poor metabolic gene risk were linked to negative pregnancy results, and methylfolate was more effective than synthetic folic acid in lowering HCY levels and improving pregnancy outcomes.

Objective: To determine if the cardiac function and "endocrinium" of Chinese patients are associated with dopamine D () () and () genetic polymorphisms when treated with amisulpride.
Methods: This study enrolled 148 patients with schizophrenia who took amisulpride orally for 8 weeks. and genetic polymorphisms were detected with TaqMan-MGB allelic discrimination.

The early detection of gene mutations in physiological and pathological processes is a powerful approach to guide decisions in precision medicine. However, detecting low-copy mutant DNA from clinical samples poses a challenge due to the enrichment of wild-type DNA backgrounds. In this study, we devised a novel strategy, named Mutation-Selected Amplification droplet digital PCR (MSA-ddPCR), to quantitatively analyze single nucleotide variants (SNVs) at low variant allele frequencies (VAFs).
