Abstract
Background: The identification of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variations, especially single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), is important for many applications. The PCR-ligase detection reaction (LDR) method can reduce false-positives and eliminate the need for both post-PCR and post-ligation purifications in SNP analyses. In addition, it has been successfully employed to detect point mutations in various nuclear genes. In this study, we used the PCR-LDR platform to characterize mtDNA SNPs.
Methods: Multiplex PCR-LDRs were used to genotype 19 mtDNA single nucleotide polymorphic sites from 812 samples. Performance of the method was assessed by direct sequencing of 44 samples.
Results: We established an overall 97.4% success rate with 99.2% accuracy using the multiplex PCR-LDR methodology.
Conclusions: The PCR-LDR mtDNA genotyping technique is simple, highly accurate, has high-throughput, and is cost-effective. Therefore, this method is applicable to mtDNA haplotyping in various applications.
