Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a kit and an application thereof, and a method for detecting tandem repeat sequence genotyping. Background Art
[0002] Thymidylate synthase (TS) is the target of fluoropyrimidine drugs. The TYMS gene influences TS enzyme expression, thereby impacting drug efficacy. Therefore, identifying this genetic polymorphism is crucial for precision medicine with fluoropyrimidines. rs45445694 is located in the promoter region of the TYMS gene, immediately adjacent to the ATG start codon. A 28-bp variable number tandem repeat (VTR) is present upstream of the transcription start site in the 5'-UTR. Tandem repeat polymorphisms at this site significantly influence drug efficacy and toxicity. This sequence can bind to various transcriptional regulatory proteins, thereby stimulating and enhancing promoter activity and affecting gene expression efficiency. The VTR sequence in this region varies in number, ranging from two (2R), three (3R), or four to five times, with reports suggesting a maximum of nine repeats.
[0003] The SLC6A4 gene is a key gene associated with susceptibility to psychiatric disorders and the efficacy of antidepressant medications. The rs774676466 sequence, located in the promoter region of the SLC6A4 gene, contains a 20-24 bp homologous repeat sequence with variable repeat length, including long, extra-long, short, and very short alleles with varying expression. Repeat length polymorphisms in this gene promoter have been shown to affect the rate of serotonin uptake, and multiple studies suggest that this polymorphism may play a role in behavior and depression.
[0004] Currently, numerous technologies are used to detect human genetic polymorphisms. The most commonly used include polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), sequence-specific PCR, gene chip analysis, and gene sequencing. However, when applied to variable number repeat polymorphisms (VTRs), these technologies suffer from low resolution, cumbersome operation, long detection cycles, and high costs due to the molecular characteristics of VTRs, including dynamic changes in repeat number, high GC content, and complex sequence composition. For example, PCR-RFLP suffers from low resolution, unable to accurately distinguish differences within 50 bp, and is susceptible to poor amplification efficiency due to the influence of high GC content. Second-generation sequencing (NGS) is limited in read length and cannot accurately locate and identify VTR variants, resulting in low sensitivity. CN119776518A provides a tandem repeat-related gene mutation detection system and a method for non-disease diagnosis purposes. However, this method relies on single-molecule real-time sequencing of third-generation sequencing to detect tandem repeats. This method requires only 2 μg of DNA, is cumbersome to operate, and has a long detection cycle.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simple, high-resolution method for detecting tandem repeat genotyping. Summary of the Invention

[0014] (4) The present invention only requires 10 ng of DNA sample to complete the detection, which has a low demand for DNA and can meet the DNA extraction needs of various tissue or body fluid samples. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The fragment length of DNA fragment I is <450bp and has a single peak. DNA fragment II in the standard is the SLC6A4 gene (rs774676466) containing 16 variable number tandem repeat sequences. The fragment length of DNA fragment II is >450bp and has a single peak. For the fragment amplified from the TYMS gene (rs45445694) in the sample to be tested, this fragment is <450bp, and the homozygote has a single peak, while the heterozygote has a bimodal pattern. For the fragment amplified from the SLC6A4 gene (rs774676466) in the sample to be tested, this fragment is >450bp, and the homozygote has a single peak, while the heterozygote has a bimodal pattern.
