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.
