The invention discloses a
reagent and a method for detecting low-frequency
pancreatic cancer KRAS G12D
gene mutation based on a Cas12a-Cas13a combined
reaction system. The
reagent comprises a single-stranded substrate
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid), a TRNA (Transcription Ribonucleic Acid), a 12CrRNA, a 13CrRNA, a 12Report and a 13Report; the single-stranded substrate
DNA is derived from
genome DNA of a to-be-detected sample, after the
genome DNA of the to-be-detected sample is extracted,
asymmetric PCR is carried out by utilizing a PCR primer pair, namely, the single-stranded substrate DNA is amplified and comprises
wild type WT and
mutant type MT; the
mutant MT is completely matched with a recognition region of 12CrRNA, and a base mismatch exists between the
mutant MT and a recognition region of 13CrRNA; a base mismatch exists between the
wild type WT and a recognition region of 12CrRNA, and the
wild type WT is completely matched with a recognition region of 13CrRNA; the TRNA is a pre-synthesized single-stranded
RNA, has a base mismatch with a recognition region of the 12CrRNA, and is completely matched with a recognition region of the 13CrRNA; the 12Reporter is
a DNA (
Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) probe of the FAM and BHQ double-standard genes, and the 13Reporter is an
RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) probe of the FAM and BHQ double-standard genes. The
nucleic acid cleavage activities of Cas12a and Cas13a are jointly utilized to realize multiple
signal amplification, so that low-
frequency detection of
KRAS G12D
mutation, which is simple to operate and low in cost, is realized.
