Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gene detection technology, and in particular to a method for detecting long-fragment nucleic acid molecular mutations and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common autosomal recessive lethal genetic disorder. Its pathogenesis stems from a biallelic variation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. CFTR The gene is located in the 7q31.2 chromosome region, is approximately 230 kb in length, and contains 27 exons. Most CF patients typically present with multi-organ disease. CF has a high incidence rate and often results in a high early mortality rate due to respiratory failure. To date, more than 2,000 gene variants that can lead to CF and cause abnormal function of the CFTR protein have been identified. Given the high prevalence of CF, accurate detection of CFTR gene variants is crucial for assessing reproductive risk, guiding patient treatment, and developing new drugs.
[0003] It is worth noting that data from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry (CFFPR) in 2018 showed that approximately 3.1% of CF patients had fewer than two tests. CFTR Genetic variations indicate that current testing methods cannot detect all variations. Precise detection is needed. CFTR Genetic testing and typing are not only crucial for diagnostic accuracy but also directly impact clinical decision-making regarding CF treatment drugs. Furthermore, complete... CFTR Genetic testing data can also help establish genotype-phenotype associations and provide data support.
[0004] Existing detection technologies for CFTR each have their own characteristics: While dideoxy termination sequencing (Sanger sequencing) is the gold standard for detecting point mutations in exon regions, it has throughput limitations and is costly and time-consuming. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) specializes in detecting long-fragment variants, but it determines variants based on relative fluorescence, making it susceptible to interference from experimental procedures and environmental factors, thus compromising accuracy. High-throughput sequencing (NGS) is suitable for detecting shorter fragments and has limitations in detecting large deletions and rearrangements.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method that can overcome the above problems and achieve more comprehensive results quickly, with high throughput and low cost. CFTR Methods for detecting genetic information. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the method in this invention can obtain more comprehensive gene variation information, including point mutations, insertions, deletions, and large-segment rearrangements, thereby clarifying the phase relationships between variant sites, increasing the understanding of disease phenotype-genotype correlations, and facilitating accurate disease diagnosis.

[0070] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials, reagents, or apparatus used in the embodiments and comparative examples are all available from conventional commercial sources or can be obtained by existing technical methods. Unless otherwise specified, the experimental or testing methods are conventional methods in the art.
[0071] Example 1 This embodiment designed, screened, and obtained a set of methods for... CFTR The primer set for full-length gene amplification, and the specific experimental protocol are as follows: CFTR The gene contains 27 exons, which are divided into 12 regions. Two to three primer pairs are designed for each region, requiring amplicon length of 7-10 kb, and the resulting 12 amplicones to cover all exon regions. A schematic diagram of the 27 exon region division is shown below. Figure 1 As shown in the table below, the primers designed for each region are presented.
[0072] Table 1 CFTR Gene PCR amplification primer sequence information
[0073] Each primer pair was individually amplified by PCR, and the amplification system is shown in the table below.
[0074] Table 2 PCR amplification system (10 μL)
[0075] The amplification program was as follows: 94℃ for 1 min; 98℃ for 10 s, 60℃ for 15 s, 68℃ for 8 min, for 25 cycles; 68℃ for 2 min; and incubation at 4℃. After amplification, approximately 2 μL of the PCR product was subjected to 0.6% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the optimal primers were determined based on the electrophoresis results.
[0076] The results of amplification of 12 regions using different primers individually are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0077] It can be observed that all primers can obtain the target product. Specifically, regions 1, 4, 6, and 12 each have 3 primer pairs with good specificity and almost no non-specific amplification. Regions 3, 7, 8, 10, and 11 each have 2 primer pairs with good specificity and almost no non-specific amplification. Region 2 has only 1 primer pair that can specifically amplify the product, while the other 2 primer pairs produce a large amount of non-specific amplification products. Primers in regions 5 and 9 almost all exhibit some degree of non-specific amplification, but CFTR-5_2 and CFTR-9_1 produce relatively fewer non-specific products compared to the others.
[0078] Example 2 A multiplex amplification system composed of primers with good specificity is more conducive to the detection of target sites compared with existing amplification methods. Therefore, in this embodiment, a multiplex amplification system was constructed using primer combinations that have been verified to have good individual amplification effects in Example 1, and primers suitable for multiplex amplification were screened.
[0079] The specific experimental method is as follows: (1) Construction of the multiplex amplification system and preliminary screening of multiplex amplification primer combinations Based on the results in Example 1, a total of 5 combinations of multiplex amplification primers (primer mixtures) were constructed, and the specific combinations are shown in the table below.
[0080] Table 3 Primer combinations for multiplex amplification (primer mixtures)
[0081] Based on the above five combinations of multiplex amplification primers, a multiplex PCR amplification system was constructed.
[0082] Table 4. Multiplex PCR amplification system (50 μL)
[0083] The amplification program was as follows: 94℃ for 1 min; 98℃ for 10 s, 60℃ for 15 s, 68℃ for 4 min, repeated 25 times; 68℃ for 2 min; and incubated at 4℃. The PCR amplification product was obtained. 40 μL of the PCR amplification product was purified using 0.4× magnetic beads.
[0084] Approximately 100 ng of PCR amplification products before and after purification with magnetic beads were subjected to 0.6% agarose gel electrophoresis. Based on the electrophoresis results, primer combinations with good multiplex amplification performance were initially selected.
[0085] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown.
[0086] It was observed that the amplification products of all five primer mixtures contained non-specific amplification products <3 kb. However, after purification with magnetic beads, the non-specific amplification products of primer mixtures 1 and 2 were effectively removed, while the amplification product of primer mixture 4 still contained non-specific amplification products after purification. Furthermore, the amplification products of primer mixtures 3 and 5 showed obvious non-specific amplification bands, especially the ~3 kb non-specific products, which were difficult to remove by magnetic bead purification.
[0087] Therefore, primer mixtures 1, 2, and 4 will be used in subsequent experiments to further screen the primer mixtures.
[0088] (2) Construction of sequencing libraries and secondary screening of multiplex amplification primer combinations: The presence of a large number of nonspecific products in the multiplex PCR amplification system will reduce the amount of effective data. Although the above steps have performed a preliminary screening of the multiplex amplification primer combinations, the agarose gel electrophoresis results cannot directly reflect the actual detection of the 12 amplicons. Therefore, library construction and sequencing are still required to determine the actual detection of each amplicon and to perform a secondary screening of the multiplex amplification primer combinations.
[0089] In this embodiment, the construction of the sequencing library is achieved based on the CycloneSEQ 24 barcode library preparation kit (CycloneSEQ).
[0090] The specific steps for constructing a sequencing library are as follows: The PCR amplification products obtained from multiplex primer combinations were purified using 0.4× magnetic beads and then subjected to end repair. The end repair reaction solution (60 μL) consisted of: 1 μg of purified PCR amplification product, 12 μL of end repair buffer, and 3 μL of end repair enzyme, with nuclease-free water added to bring the total volume to 60 μL. The end repair reaction program was as follows: incubation at 20°C for 10 min, followed by incubation at 65°C for 10 min to obtain the end-repaired product. The end-repaired product was then purified using 1× magnetic beads.
[0091] The purified end-repair products were barcoded, and the barcode linking system is shown in the table below.
[0092] Table 5. Barcode Linking System (40 μL)
[0093] After reacting at 25℃ for 30 min, the product was purified using 0.4× magnetic beads to obtain the purified barcode ligation product.
[0094] The purified barcode ligation products of the three primer mixtures were mixed in equal masses and then ligated into nanopore sequencing adapters. The nanopore sequencing adapter ligation system was prepared according to the table below.
[0095] Table 6. Nanopore sequencing adapter ligation system (400 μL)
[0096] In this embodiment, the purified barcode ligation product was 31.7 μL.
[0097] After reacting at 25℃ for 30 min, the mixture was purified using 0.4× magnetic beads to obtain purified nanopore sequencing adapter ligation products, i.e., nanopore sequencing libraries.
[0098] The obtained nanopore sequencing libraries were sequenced using the CycloneSEQ WT sequencing kit (CycloneSEQ), the CycloneSEQ WT sequencing chip (CycloneSEQ), and its compatible nanopore gene sequencer CycloneSEQ-WT02 (CycloneSEQ). 900 ng of nanopore sequencing library was loaded into each sequencing chip, and sequencing was performed at 30°C.
[0099] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown.
[0100] It was found that all three primer mixtures could effectively detect 12 amplicones. Among them, the sequencing depth of the 12 amplicones from primer mixtures 1 and 2 differed significantly, especially the dominant amplification in region 1. In contrast, the sequencing depth of the 12 amplicones from primer mixture 4 showed relatively smaller differences, which is more conducive to rapid adjustment of the system balance in the subsequent process.
[0101] Therefore, primer mixture 4 was used as the optimal primer mixture for optimizing the subsequent multiplex amplification system.
[0102] Example 3 In this embodiment, primer mixture 4 was used as the optimal primer mixture to investigate the effect of primer concentration on the final detection effect in the multiplex PCR amplification system.
[0103] The specific experimental method is as follows: Using the human genomic DNA standard NA12878 as a template, PCR amplification, library construction, and sequencing were performed according to the methods described in the above embodiments. Primer mixture 4 was used as a primer mixture for multiplex PCR amplification. The difference was that the concentration of primers in each region of primer mixture 4 was adjusted, resulting in four PCR multiplex amplification systems.
[0104] The concentration adjustments of primers in each region of the four PCR multiplex amplification systems are shown in the table below.
[0105] Table 7. System concentrations of primers for each region in four PCR multiplex amplification systems.
[0106] After sequencing was completed, the sequencing depth of each amplicon was analyzed.
[0107] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown.
[0108] It can be observed that in PCR multiplex amplification systems 1 and 2, three regions showed low sequencing depths of the amplicon sequences. System 3 exhibited significant differences in sequencing depth among the amplicon sequences, which was detrimental to the final detection results. Although the sequencing depth in region 3 of system 4 was slightly higher, the overall sequencing depth of the amplicon sequences was relatively balanced. Therefore, considering the overall balance of the systems and the clear detection of loci, system 4 was selected for detection. CFTR The final multiplex amplification system of genes.
[0109] Example 4 In this embodiment, the system based on system 4 was verified. CFTR The effectiveness and reliability of full-length gene detection methods.
[0110] The specific verification method is as follows: Based on the results of Example 3, System 4 was used to test 5 known samples to verify the accuracy of the detection effect. The multiplex PCR amplification, library construction and sequencing methods were the same as those in the above examples.
[0111] The results are shown in Table 8 and Figure 6 As shown.
[0112] Table 8. Detection results of 5 known samples
[0113] The results above show that the method in this embodiment of the invention can accurately detect the status of each sample (including mutation status and mutation frequency) with an accuracy of 100%. Moreover, the sequencing balance among samples is good, and the data availability is good.
