FISH Readout Probes for Colorimetric Detection of SNPs

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) result from a single nucleotide mutation in the genome. Many SNPs are closely linked to human diseases and drug efficiency. Single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) are biomarkers allowing the detection of drug resistance in cancer and bacterial infection. Unfortunately, the nonspecific binding of DNA probes limits their specific detection.

In 2016, Chen et al. developed a universal low-cost assay for the colorimetric discrimination of drug-resistance-related point mutation. The assay utilizes a universal DNA probe and a split G-quadruplex allowing for recognition with the naked eye at room temperature. Using the DNA probe as a signal reporter improves the universality and enables a high specificity during probe hybridization.

Chen et al. applied the assay for the detection of cancer-related SNVs in the following genes: the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS), and tuberculosis drug-resistance related point mutations in the RNA polymerase beta subunit gene (rpoB).

The researchers suggested that this method is simple, rapid, effective, and enables high-throughput detection suitable for point-of-care applications.

A similar method called MERFISH  enables multiplexed fluorescence in situ hybridization.
