  • Title: High-throughput SNP genotyping based on solid-phase PCR on magnetic nanoparticles with dual-color hybridization.
    Author: Liu H, Li S, Wang Z, Ji M, Nie L, He N.

    Abstract:
    Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are one-base variations in DNA sequence that can often be helpful when trying to find genes responsible for inherited diseases. In this paper, a microarray-based method for typing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using solid-phase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was developed. One primer with biotin-label was captured by streptavidin coated magnetic nanoparticles (SA-MNPs), and PCR products were directly amplified on the surface of SA-MNPs in a 96-well plate. The samples were interrogated by hybridization with a pair of dual-color probes to determine SNP, and then genotype of each sample can be simultaneously identified by scanning the microarray printed with the denatured fluorescent probes. The C677T polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene from 126 samples were interrogated using this method. The results showed that three different genotypes were discriminated by three fluorescence patterns on the microarray. Without any purification and reduction procedure, and all reactions can be performed in the same vessel, this approach will be a simple and labor-saving method for SNP genotyping and can be applicable towards the automation system to achieve high-throughput SNP detection.
