Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gene detection technology, specifically relating to a multiplex fluorescent PCR reaction system, kit, and detection method for single-tube detection of mutations at multiple gene loci. Background Technology

[0002] Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD deficiency) is a common X-linked incomplete dominant genetic disorder, primarily caused by mutations in the G6PD gene leading to reduced G6PD protease activity. G6PD gene mutations are predominantly missense mutations involving single base substitutions. More than 40 mutation types have been reported in the Chinese population, with c.1376 G>T, c.1388 G>A, c.95 A>G, c.871 G>A, and c.1024 C>T accounting for approximately 95%; c.392 G>T, c.487 G>A, c.517 T>C, c.592 C>T, and c.1004 C>A accounting for approximately 3.5%; other types are sporadic. Most patients do not exhibit significant differences in their daily lives compared to healthy individuals, only developing corresponding clinical symptoms under certain triggering conditions. Therefore, avoiding relevant triggers and receiving timely treatment can greatly protect patients' quality of life and health, necessitating reliable and effective diagnostic methods for G6PD deficiency.

[0003] Currently, clinical diagnostic methods for G6PD deficiency can be mainly divided into biochemical detection methods and molecular biological detection methods.

[0004] Biochemical testing methods primarily screen for potential carriers or patients by measuring G6PD enzyme activity. This method is inexpensive and commonly used in traditional diagnosis. However, it has certain limitations. First, it cannot determine the specific gene mutation site; second, it cannot accurately detect heterozygous female patients, leading to missed diagnoses; and third, this method is highly susceptible to interference from laboratory environment and operator technique, resulting in poor quality control.

[0005] Currently, the diagnosis of G6PD deficiency is increasingly shifting towards molecular biology testing methods. Common methods include multicolor melting curve analysis (MMCA), gene chip technology, PCR-SSCP, Sanger sequencing, and high-throughput sequencing. Compared to biochemical testing methods, these methods can better address the issue of heterozygote detection and identify mutation sites. However, each detection technique also has its own limitations. For example, MMCA requires the design of a large number of target sequence-specific fluorescent probes, leading to increased fluorescence background and probe synthesis costs; gene chip technology products are expensive; PCR-SSCP technology is complex to operate, has poor reproducibility, and struggles to accurately locate mutation sites; Sanger sequencing and high-throughput sequencing technologies have expensive equipment and lengthy procedures, hindering their clinical application. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to supplement existing detection technologies by providing a low-cost, rapid, and single-tube method for detecting ten high-frequency mutation sites (c.1376 G>T, c.1388 G>A, c.95A>G, c.871 G>A, c.1024 C>T, c.392 G>T, c.487 G>A, c.517 T>C, c.592 C>T, c.1004 C>A) in the Chinese population using fluorescent PCR.

The MP probe includes a mediator subsequence at the 5' end and a complementary sequence to the recognition site at the 3' end. The universal probe contains a fluorescent group and a quenching group; During PCR amplification, the MP probe hybridizes with the corresponding recognition site and is cleaved by polymerase extension, releasing the mediator sequence corresponding to each recognition site (preferably one-to-one). The mediator sequence pairs with and extends a specific mooring sequence on a universal probe to form a fluorescent double-stranded DNA product with a specific melting temperature (Tm value). By analyzing the melting curve of the fluorescent double-stranded DNA product, the genotype of each gene locus can be determined based on the combination characteristics of the fluorescence signal and the Tm value.

[0012] Those skilled in the art will understand that by changing the target sequence of the MP probe, it is possible to adapt it to the detection of other gene mutation sites. Therefore, the MP PCR design used in the reaction system and kit of the present invention has great potential for expansion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the universal probe comprises a fluorescent group and a quenching group, wherein the fluorescent group includes, but is not limited to, any one or more of FAM, HEX, ROX, and CY5; and the quenching group includes, but is not limited to, any one or more of BHQ1, BHQ2, and BHQ3.

[0014] When the universal probe is complementary to its corresponding mediator sequence and extends, the fluorescent group and quenching group on it separate, causing the extended double-stranded DNA product to fluoresce.

[0015] In embodiments of the present invention, double-stranded DNA products formed by pairing and extending universal probes containing the same fluorescent group with different mediator sequences have different Tm values, which allows for the detection of mutations at multiple gene sites by combining fluorescence signals with Tm values.

[0016] In some implementations, the universal probe set includes: The universal probe P1 contains the FAM fluorescent group and contains the station sequences corresponding to probes MP3, MP4, and MP17; The universal probe P2 contains the FAM fluorescent group and includes the station sequences corresponding to probes MP9, MP19, and MP20; The universal probe P3 contains the Cy5 fluorescent group and contains the station sequences corresponding to probes MP1, MP2, MP6, and MP14.

[0017] In some implementations, the fluorescent double-stranded DNA products corresponding to probes MP3, MP4, MP17, MP9, MP19, and MP20 have different Tm values ​​from each other; The fluorescent double-stranded DNA products corresponding to probes MP1, MP2, MP6, MP14, MP7, MP8, and MP13 have different Tm values. The fluorescent double-stranded DNA products corresponding to probes MP5, MP12, MP18, MP11, MP15, and MP16 have different Tm values.

[0018] As used herein, the specific sequences of the mediator sequence and the mooring sequence can be conventionally designed by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, as long as the double-stranded DNA products formed by pairing and extending a universal probe containing the same fluorescent group with different mediator sequences have different Tm values.

[0019] In some embodiments, the multiplex fluorescent PCR reaction system further includes an intrusion probe 1 and an intrusion probe 2 for auxiliary signal enhancement, the sequence of the intrusion probe 1 being shown in SEQ ID NO: 31 and the sequence of the intrusion probe 2 being shown in SEQ ID NO: 32.

[0020] In some embodiments, the multiplex fluorescent PCR reaction system further includes a reaction buffer, dNTPs, and DNA polymerase.

[0021] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a kit for detecting mutations at multiple gene sites using a single-tube method, the kit comprising a multiplex fluorescent PCR reaction system as described herein.

[0022] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a method for detecting mutations at multiple gene loci using a multiplex fluorescent PCR reaction system or kit as described herein, characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) Extract genomic DNA from the sample to be tested; (2) The genomic DNA was amplified by multiplex PCR using the multiplex fluorescent PCR reaction system as described herein, wherein MP probe cleavage, mediator release and universal probe extension reaction were completed during the amplification process; (3) Perform melting curve analysis on the reaction products; (4) Determine the genotype of the multiple gene loci based on the obtained fluorescence signal and Tm value combination.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the method is used to detect common mutation sites of the G6PD gene in the Chinese population, such as ten high-frequency mutation sites of the G6PD gene in the Chinese population: cDNA1376, cDNA1388, cDNA95, cDNA871, cDNA1024, cDNA392, cDNA487, cDNA517, cDNA592, and cDNA1004.

[0024] Beneficial effects of the present invention 1. Simple and convenient operation: This invention is a single-tube PCR detection system that can simultaneously detect multiple samples in each reaction. Genotyping of samples can be completed through PCR amplification and melting curve analysis. The entire operation can be completed in about 3 hours. The detection only requires a fluorescence PCR instrument and basic equipment, with few operational steps.

[0025] 2. Multiple detection sites and high mutation coverage: This invention can simultaneously detect mutations at 10 sites of the G6PD gene and can distinguish between homozygous mutations, heterozygous mutations and wild-type mutations. The mutation coverage of these 10 sites in the Chinese population is about 98.5%.

[0026] 3. High detection sensitivity, strong stability, good specificity, and easy interpretation of results: This invention uses MP PCR and melting curve analysis technology to identify mutations by the presence or absence of melting peaks. The sensitivity can reach 10 copies / reaction. The Tm value of the melting peak corresponding to the same site is stable, the detection results are obvious, and the interpretation is not prone to errors.

[0027] 4. Low detection cost and strong scalability: This experiment adopts a universal fluorescent probe design, which eliminates the need to design specific fluorescent probes for each detection site, thus saving the cost of fluorescent probe synthesis; the MP probe can be divided into a mediator part and a target sequence binding part. By changing only the target sequence binding part, it can be used to detect other gene sites. The system has good scalability and reduces the development and design costs of other kits.

[0036] In some embodiments, this invention relates to a multiplex fluorescent PCR reaction system and kit applicable to ten high-frequency mutation sites of the G6PD gene in the Chinese population. This invention employs the principle of MP-PCR melting array. First, common mutation sites of the G6PD gene are amplified using amplification primers. As the primers extend on the template, the MP probes bound to the detection sites are cleaved, releasing specific mediator sequences. These mediator sequences pair with specific sites on corresponding universal probes and extend, producing fluorescent double-stranded DNA of a certain length. Analysis of the melting curve yields specific combinations of fluorescence color and Tm values, allowing for the identification of the genotype at the corresponding sites.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, the multiplex fluorescent PCR reaction system and kit of the present invention include: (1) Primers for amplifying 10 G6PD gene loci, a total of five pairs, Among them, the F1 and R1 amplification gene locus c.95 (common mutation is A>G). Among them, the F2 and R2 amplification gene site c.392 (common mutation is G>T). Among them, the F3 and R3 amplification gene sites are c.487 (common mutation is G>A), c.517 (common mutation is T>C), and c.592 (common mutation is C>T). Among them, the F4 and R4 amplification gene sites are c.871 (common mutation is G>A), c.1004 (common mutation is C>A), and c.1024 (common mutation is C>T). Among them, F5 and R5 amplify two mutation sites c. 1376 (common mutation is G>T) and c. 1388 (common mutation is G>A). The sequences of each primer are shown in Table 1.
