Establishment of molecular beacon real-time PCR for detecting p53 gene single nucleotide polymorphism / 南方医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a method based on molecular beacon real-time PCR for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in codon 72 of scar-related p53 gene.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Two fluorescence-labeled molecular beacon probes were synthesized targeting CCC/CGC SNP of p53 codon 72. The genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of 28 patients with keloid, and the CCC/CGC SNP of P53 gene codon 72 were assayed with molecular beacon real-time PCR. The results of SNP typing were compared with the results of reverse dot hybridization and confirmed by direct DNA sequencing.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The goodness of fit of this method was 100% in comparison with direct DNA sequencing, higher than that of reverse dot hybridization.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Molecular beacon real-time PCR is suitable for rapid clinical detection of SNPs in p53 gene.</p>
