Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) with a TaqMan minor groove binding (MGB) probe is useful for large-scale screening for the C1494T mutation. The mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) C1494T mutation has a low carrier frequency in Chinese patients with nonsyndromic hearing loss.
To develop a simple, rapid, and reliable real-time qPCR assay based on TaqMan technology using a new MGB probe for detecting the mtDNA C1494T mutation directly, and to investigate the carrier frequency in nonsyndromic deaf Chinese subjects.
A TaqMan-MGB probe was constructed. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 3133 nonsyndromic deaf patients and genomic DNA was extracted. A real-time qPCR using MGB probes (wild-type) in a single tube was used to detect the mtDNA C1494T mutation. The results were then compared to the DNA sequence of the PCR products.
A total of 13 of 3133 (0.4%) Chinese nonsyndromic hearing loss patients were C1494T-positive. The results of the TaqMan-MGB probe method were consistent with those of sequencing.
采用TaqMan小沟结合(MGB)探针的实时定量聚合酶链反应(qPCR)技术有助于大规模筛查C1494T突变。线粒体DNA(mtDNA)C1494T突变在中国非综合征性听力损失患者中的携带频率较低。
基于TaqMan技术开发一种简单、快速且可靠的实时qPCR检测方法,使用新型MGB探针直接检测mtDNA C1494T突变,并调查中国非综合征性耳聋患者中的携带频率。
构建TaqMan-MGB探针。采集3133例非综合征性耳聋患者的外周血样本并提取基因组DNA。使用单管中的MGB探针(野生型)进行实时qPCR以检测mtDNA C1494T突变。然后将结果与PCR产物的DNA序列进行比较。
3133例中国非综合征性听力损失患者中共有13例(0.4%)C1494T呈阳性。TaqMan-MGB探针法的结果与测序结果一致。
