Abstract

See full text

Genetic polymorphisms can change protein structure and function, altering dispositions to diseases and conditions. A single nucleotide polymorphism is the smallest genetic mutation and the most difficult to detect. However, single nucleotide polymorphisms also make up 90% of known genetic mutations, thus identifying such polymorphisms is essential. Single base extension uses the affinity of one base for its complementary base to detect polymorphisms, including single nucleotide polymorphisms. Planar waveguides are used as the platform for single base extension enabling rapid, real time detection of genetic polymorphisms. Detection limits in the picomolar range can be obtained. Signals from the non-matched DNA bases are in the range of the blank signal. Detection times of 5 minutes are reported.
