Abstract Background: Microelectronic DNA chip devices represent an emerging technology for genotyping. We developed methods for detection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in clinically relevant genes. Methods: Primer pairs, with one containing a 5′-biotin group, were used to PCR-amplify the region encompassing the SNP to be interrogated. After denaturation, the biotinylated strand was electronically targeted to discrete sites on streptavidin-coated gel pads surfaces by use of a Nanogen Molecular Workstation. Allele-specific dye-labeled oligonucleotide reporters were used for detection of wild-type and variant sequences. Methods were developed for SNPs in genes, including factor VII, β-globin, and the RET protooncogene. We genotyped 331 samples for five DNA variations in the factor VII gene, >600 samples from patients with β-thalassemia, and 15 samples for mutations within the RET protooncogene. All samples were previously typed by various methods, including DNA sequence analysis, allele-specific PCR, and/or restriction enzyme digestion of PCR products. Results: Analysis of amplified DNA required 4–6 h. After mismatched DNA was removed, signal-to-noise ratios were >5. More than 940 samples were typed with the microelectronic array platform, and results were totally concordant with results obtained previously by other genotyping methods. Conclusions: The described protocols detect SNPs of clinical interest with results comparable to those of other genotyping methods.

Detection of single based genetic mutation by using oligonucleotide probes is one of the common methods of detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms at known loci. In this paper, we demonstrated a hybridization system which included a buffer solution that produced selective salt-induced effect and a locked nucleic acid modified 12 nt oligonucleotide probe. The hybridization system is suitable for hybridization under room temperature. By using magnetic nanoparticles as carriers for PCR products, the SNPs (MDR1C3435T/A) from 45 volunteers were analyzed, and the results were consistent with the results from pyrophosphoric acid sequencing. The method presented in this paper differs from the traditional method of using molecular beacons to detect SNPs in that it is suitable for research institutions lacking real-time quantitative PCR detecting systems, to detect PCR products at room temperature.

The two hypervariable regions HV-I and HV-II in the D-loop region are the most diverse region in the mitochondrial human genome. These DNA regions have an important role in population genetics and human evolution research. In this study, we identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the D-loop region of the human mitochondrial DNA genomes of individuals in two Vietnamese ethnic groups: Kinh and Mang. 81 blood samples from 50 Kinh and 31 Mang unrelated individuals were collected for genomic DNA extraction. Using PCR and specific primers, we successfully amplified the two HV-I and HV-II regions with respective sizes of 693 bp and 689 bp. The PCR products then were purified and sequenced. After alignment to the reference mitochondrial genome rCRS (NC_012920.1), 96 SNPs were detected in the Kinh ethnic group, of which many polymorphisms were firstly found in this ethnic and 36 SNPs in the Mang ethnic group. Of the identified 132 SNPs, 16 SNPs were significantly different between the two ethnic groups (p < 0.05). Eight out of the 16 SNPs (T146C, T199C, A16182C, T16217C, T16297C, T16140C, A16183C, T16189C) were frequently found in the Kinh ethnic group but not or only rarely in the Mang ethnic group. On the other hand, 4 SNPs (C151T, A16162G, A16269G, T16271C) were commonly found in the Mang population but rarely in the Kinh population. These findings suggest that although Kinh and Mang belong to one language family (Austro-Asiatic), there is a noticeable diversity in the mitochondrial genomes between these two Vietnamese ethnic groups.

The major antimicrobial proteins in donkey milk are lysozyme, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and immunoglobulins. Lysozyme has an important role in the host defense by way it inhibits the pathogenic bacteria. The aim of this study is to investigate the Lysozyme (LYZ) gene polymorphism in 82 donkeys reared in Thrace region of Turkey. 716 bp long partial 5’ UTR, exon 1, intron 1, exon 2 regions of LYZ gene were amplified and PCR products were analyzed via DNA sequencing. Three novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified as g.1782775A>G, g.1782924A>G and g.1782960T>C in the first intron of LYZ gene. The partial DNA sequence of LYZ gene in donkeys was reported in the present study and sequences of LYZ were entered to NCBI Genbank database with the accession number: MK984689-MK984692. This SNP may have an effect on immune system and milk traits in donkeys and additional studies are needed to confirm this assumption for donkey breeding.

Abstract. An association between intelligence at age 7 and a set of five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been identified and replicated. We used this composite SNP set to investigate whether the associations differ between boys and girls for general cognitive ability at ages 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 10 years. In a longitudinal community sample of British twins aged 2-10 (n > 4,000 individuals), we found that the SNP set is more strongly associated with intelligence in males than in females at ages 7, 9, and 10 and the difference is significant at 10. If this finding replicates in other studies, these results will constitute the first evidence of the same autosomal genes acting differently on intelligence in the two sexes.
