Popis: | We describe a novel polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencingbased assay for rapid genotyping of the polymorphic Sp1 binding site in the COL1A1 gene (1). A single nucleotide G--T substitution polymorphism at this GC-rich site has recently been reported to be a predictive genetic marker for low bone mineral density (BMD). To simplify screening for this marker, we optimized PCR conditions and subjected the amplicons to pyrosequencing, which is a convenient high-throughput sequence analysis technique, readily amenable to automation. The analysis of 200 deidentified convenience DNA samples extracted from blood revealed genotype frequences in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (SS 68.0%, Ss 28.5%, and ss 3.5%) in agreement with other studies of European populations. This study demonstrates for the first time that pyrosequencing can be used for rapid identification of the osteoporosis-associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the COL1A1 gene. |
