Problems solved by technology

However, since the PCR reaction is performed twice, the operation is complicated and time-consuming
In addition, since the reaction solution after the first PCR reaction is used as a template for the second PCR reaction, it is necessary to open the cover of the reaction solution containing a large amount of amplification products, which raises concerns about contamination of the measurement environment by the amplification products (mutual contamination)

Embodiment 1

[0074] High-sensitivity detection of the T790M mutant allele in exon 20 of the EGFR gene (1)

[0075] By using the DNA extracted and purified from the NCI-H1975 cell line as the DNA of the T790M mutation of exon 20 of the human EGFR gene, and using the DNA extracted and purified from the K562 cell line as the DNA without the mutation, it was evaluated to ensure that the DNA designed according to the present invention Concentration range of the first primer set for measuring system performance.

[0076] Primer

[0077] The first primer set (SEQ ID NO:3 and 4) for the first PCR reaction was set in the region flanking the T790M mutation, and its reverse primer was designed to match the second primer set (SEQ ID NO:4 and 5) A common primer for the reverse primer. The forward primer of the second primer set is an allele-specific primer corresponding to the T790M (2369C->T) mutation, and has the base (T) from the 3' end corresponding to the mutated nucleotide of the mutation. The...

[0105] High-sensitivity detection of the T790M mutant allele in exon 20 of the EGFR gene (2)

[0106] By using DNA extracted and purified from the NCI-H1975 cell line as the DNA of the T790M mutation of exon 20 of the human EGFR gene, the assay sensitivity of the assay system designed according to the present invention was compared with that of the assay system that did not include the forward primer used for the first PCR. The conventional ASP-PCR method was compared.

[0107] ·Preparation of template DNA

[0108] The template of this example was prepared and used so that the concentration of DNA (mutant) extracted from the NCI-H1975 cell line was 0.01 ng / μL and 0.003 ng / μL.

[0109] ·Reagents

[0110] Twenty-five (25) μL of reaction solutions containing the following reagents were prepared and amplified using a thermal cycler device CFX96 (Bio-Rad).

[0128] High-sensitivity detection of the T790M mutant allele in exon 20 of the EGFR gene (3)

[0129] By using the DNA extracted and purified from the NCI-H1975 cell line as the DNA with the T790M mutation of exon 20 of the human EGFR gene, and the DNA extracted and purified from the K562 cell line as the DNA without the mutation, the DNA designed according to the present invention was evaluated. The measurement sensitivity of the measurement system.

[0130] ·Preparation of template DNA

[0131]The template DNA of this example was prepared by mixing together DNA extracted from the NCI-H1975 cell line (mutant, mu) and DNA extracted from the K562 cell line (wild) in respective ratios so that the total concentration was 30 ng / μL . For the respective preparations, wild-derived DNA and mutant-derived DNA were mixed at mixing ratios (mu / wild %) of 0.1%, 0.03%, 0.01% and 0% (control). In addition, DNA (mutation; mu) extracted from the NCI-H1975 cell line was prepared at 0.003 ng / ...

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting, with high sensitivity, a mutant gene (mutant allele) included at low frequency in a nucleic acid sample including a wild-typeallele, as well as a method for quantifying the mutant gene. In a single reaction system in which are mixed a first primer set designed to sandwich the mutation site of a gene of interest and a second primer set including an ASP corresponding to the mutation, a competitive nucleic acid that suppresses the amplification reaction from the wild-type allele of the gene is included, specific primer concentration conditions are selected, and the number of cycles of the PCR reaction by the first and second primer sets is controlled, thereby making it possible to obtain an amplification product froma low-frequency mutant gene and also ensure quantitative performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for highly sensitive detection and quantification of mutant alleles contained at low frequency in nucleic acid samples containing wild-type alleles. Background technique [0002] Genetic mutations include genetically inherited germline mutations and somatic mutations acquired in a single cell. It has been reported that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are germline mutations of a certain gene, and point mutations (single nucleotide mutations), which are typical somatic mutations, are associated with various diseases, and in recent years, this The detection of a nucleotide sequence has been used to select patients for whom a drug is expected to respond. [0003] For example, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation testing is performed as a basis for determining the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which are treatments for lung cancer. Since the test is performed by using...
