片段长度差异等位基因特异性PCR——一种改良的SNP分型新方法

目的建立一种基于等位基因特异性PCR原理的改良SNP分型新方法:片段长度差异等位基因特异性PCR,并考察特异性引物的3'端第3位、第4位碱基错配对特异性延伸的影响。方法以SNP位点rs759117和rs760887为例,设计两条长度不同、3'末端分别与SNP两个等位基因碱基配对的上游引物,同时在两个等位基因特异性引物3'端第3或第4位碱基引入错配以增加特异性,下游为公用引物。PCR产物经聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳、银染显带后确定样本的基因型。结果不同SNP纯合子为长度不同的单一谱带,杂合子则为两条带,其结果与直接测序完全一致。两条特异性上游引物3'端第3或第4位碱基引入错配后非特异性延伸显著减少,且对PCR反应条件的严格性要求明显降低。结论片段长度差异等位基因特异性PCR是一种简单快速而有效的SNP分型新方法;两条特异性引物3'端第3、第4位碱基引入错配可使特异性显著增加

A simple and rapid modified--new method for SNP typing by fragment length discrepant allele specific PCR

OBJECTIVE: To establish a new method for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) typing based on allele specific PCR: fragment length discrepant allele specific PCR (FLDAS-PCR), and study the influence on specific extension by introducing a mismatch at the third or fourth 3'-terminal base of allele specific primers. METHODS: For SNP loci rs759117 and rs760887, two allele specific forward primers, with different length and a mismatch introduced at the third or fourth 3'-terminal base, and a public reverse primer were designed for SNP typing. The genotyping of SNP was determined by the two allele specific fragments different in size after polyacrylamide gel and silver staining. RESULTS: The different homozygote genotypes comprised a single band with different size respectively, and the heterozygote genotypes comprised two bands. Typing results were completely consistent with those by direct sequencing. Non-specific primer extension was decreased remarkably after introducing a mismatch at the third or fourth 3'-terminal base of allele specific primers, and the stringency of PCR reaction was cut down. CONCLUSION: FLDAS-PCR is a simple, rapid and efficient new method for SNP typing. During FLDAS-PCR, specific primers with a mismatch at the third or fourth 3'-terminal base have more power to identify two alleles.
