A reagent for detecting long fragment deletion mutation of fhod3 gene and application thereof

Abstract

The application discloses a reagent for detecting long fragment deletion mutation of an FHOD3 gene and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biological medicine. The reagent comprises nucleic acid molecules specifically recognizing long fragment deletion mutation of an intron starting region of the FHOD3 gene, in particular primers and probes for deletion mutation of the 12th-14th exon and / or deletion mutation of the 15th exon. The application first discovers and verifies the two pathogenic deletion mutations closely related to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In cooperation with a microdroplet digital PCR technology, the reagent has a sensitivity of 99%, a specificity of more than 95%, good repeatability, and an accuracy of 95%-99%. The new detection rate reaches 40% in a patient family with a negative result of previous whole-exome sequencing, effectively making up for the deficiency that the prior art cannot detect long fragment deletion in an intron starting region, and the reagent is suitable for gene diagnosis, family genetic screening and genetic consultation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
