Generic Platform for the Multiplexed Targeted Electrochemical Detection of Osteoporosis-Associated Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Using Recombinase Polymerase Solid-Phase Primer Elongation and Ferrocene-Modified Nucleoside Triphosphates.

ABSTRACT: Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors, which contributes to an increased risk of bone fracture, but early diagnosis of this disease cannot be achieved using current techniques. We describe a generic platform for the targeted electrochemical genotyping of SNPs identified by genome-wide association studies to be associated with a genetic predisposition to osteoporosis. The platform exploits isothermal solid-phase primer elongation with ferrocene-labeled nucleoside triphosphates. Thiolated reverse primers designed for each SNP were immobilized on individual gold electrodes of an array. These primers are designed to hybridize to the SNP site at their 3'OH terminal, and primer elongation occurs only where there is 100% complementarity, facilita
