Mass spectrometry (MS)-based genotyping enables multiplexed detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and offers an alternative to fluorescence-based assays[1].
Allelic discrimination is based on single base extension (SBE), where a primer anneals immediately upstream of the SNP site and is extended by one chain-terminating, complementary nucleotide (Fig. 1). MALDI-TOF MS determines the mass of the resulting extension product, allowing precise identification of the sequence and thus SNP alleles.
Figure 1: Lack of 3′-OH group is required for chain termination properties.
While Acyclo-nucleoside-triphosphates (Acyclo-NTPs) (A) substitute a 2‐hydroxyethoxymethyl group for the ribose moiety, 2',3'-Dideoxynucleoside-5'-triphosphate (ddNTPs) (B) lack both the 2‘- and 3‘-OH groups. Both core structures prevent further chain extension after nucleotide incorporation.
