With a frequency of 1 in 1000 bp, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are used to study complex inherited diseases (1,2). A universal concern in genotyping techniques is that rare variants may interfere. Melting analysis addresses this concern and is a homogeneous and simple method for genotyping (3,4). For example, the 2-probe/2-fluorophore system HybProbe
