Genotyping of human deoxyribonuclease I polymorphism by the polymerase chain reaction

抄録

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We recently completely elucidated the molecular basis of genetic polymorphism in human deoxyribonuclease I and found it to be controlled by four codominant alleles, <jats:italic>DNASE1</jats:italic>*1, *2, *3 and *4. In this paper we describe a novel DNase I‐genotyping system that could be used directly on DNA samples using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the three nucleotide substitutions underlying the protein polymorphism. The system consists of three independent reactions. Since the substitutions neither suppress nor create any known enzyme recognition site in the DNase I gene, two separate mismatched PCR followed by <jats:italic>Xho</jats:italic>I digestion methods were introduced to discriminate between the <jats:italic>DNASE1</jats:italic>*1 (or *3) and the <jats:italic>DNASE1</jats:italic>*2 (or *4) alleles, and to detect the <jats:italic>DNASE1</jats:italic>*4 allele. An amplification refractory mutation system was employed to detect <jats:italic>DNASE1</jats:italic>*3. A 100% correlation was found between the results of this genotyping method and those obtained by phenotyping using conventional isoelectric focusing. The high sensitivity and specificity of this genotyping method allows us to survey DNase I‐polymorphism in small DNA samples.</jats:p>
