The invention discloses a method for simultaneously determining
gene point mutation and
DNA methylation based on a
CRISPR / Cas12a
system. The method is characterized by comprising four steps of
enzyme digestion, recognition, conversion and detection, wherein in the
enzyme digestion step,
methylation-sensitive restriction
endonuclease (MSRE) is selected according to a
target site sequence, unmethylated
DNA is not hydrolyzed by MSRE and is kept complete, methylated
DNA is hydrolyzed and broken under the action of MSRE, and the broken 3'end can be used as a primer P1 to trigger SDA1 amplification; wherein in the recognition step, a Flap primer and an Invading primer are designed according to a
point mutation sequence, and an
enzyme digestion product generated under the action of FEN1 enzyme can be used as a primer P2 to trigger SDA2 amplification; wherein in the conversion step, two different SDA amplification templates are designed according to sequences of P1 and P2, and amplification of SDA1 and SDA2 is triggered by
enzyme digestion products P1 and P2 respectively, so that
DNA methylation and
gene mutation information are quickly converted into two different amplification products T1 and T2; wherein in the detection step, crRNA1 and crRNA2 are respectively designed as guide chains of a
CRISPR / Cas12a
reaction system according to sequences of T1 and T2, and
synchronous detection of
gene point mutation and
DNA methylation is realized through'strong 'and'weak' of
fluorescence signals. Based on a
CRISPR / Cas12a
system, the method solves the problem that a traditional detection method cannot realize simultaneous detection of gene point
mutation and
DNA methylation, can be used for scientific research analysis and clinical detection, and has a wide market prospect.
