[Example 1]

The genetic testing method of the present invention performs a large-capacity amplicon sequencing library prep process, and roughly extracts DNA from oral epithelial cells or blood samples, and uses a 96/384 sample multiplex PCR (tens to hundreds of samples). By applying an internal index according to each SNPs target), the 96/384 sample is transferred to a single tube, and adapter ligation is performed on the nucleotide sequence fragments extracted from the samples, or adapter PCR is performed. I can.

Specifically, first, oral epithelial cells or blood are prepared, and DNA is extracted from the sample or a suitable buffer solution is added directly to the sample without DNA extraction to prepare a PCR reaction.

Next, a specific primer is designed for a site corresponding to the SNP to be analyzed, and primers for dozens to hundreds of targets are simultaneously applied to each sample to proceed with a PCR reaction. Here, if a 96 plate is used, multiplex PCR can be performed on 96 samples at a time, and if a 384 plate is used, multiplex PCR can be performed up to 384 samples at a time.

In this case, referring to FIG. 5, each primer used is composed of a target sequence, an internal index 1 and 2 sequence, and a universal sequence. Internal index 1 is composed of 24 types and internal index 2 is composed of 16 nucleotide sequences, and is used to classify a total of 384 samples.

Next, the 96 or 384 plates on which the multiplex PCR process has been completed are inverted and centrifuged after mounting a dedicated adapter to collect amplicons (pieces) in one tube.

Next, quantification of the PCR product of 96 or 384 samples is performed, and an adapter sequence applicable to a next-generation sequencing device is reacted by PCR or ligation.

When applied to a next-generation genome sequencing device, the nucleotide sequence reading of Read 1 and Read 2 proceeds.All initial cycles are designed to read internal indexes, and separate index sequencing options need to be used. There is no.

When the sequence reading process is completed according to the genetic testing method as described above, in the genetic analysis step, data for each of 384 samples are separately separated according to the internal index.

A reference sequence for each target is prepared in a fasta format (file) format, and genotype is analyzed by comparing each amplicon sequence. The genotyping result of each target can be obtained in one of three ways: if there is no mutation, if there is only one of the alleles, or if both alleles have mutations.

For example, if there is no mutation according to the genotype, the effect ratio is set to 0, if only one of the alleles is mutated and thus identified as a heterozygous, 0.5, and in the case of a homozygous with both mutations, it is applied as 1. Can be analyzed. It can be used to recommend suitable nutrients according to the genotype of each person by calculating the overall effect ratio of the item by applying a percentage according to the type of gene to be analyzed for each item.

While nutrients can affect gene expression, an individual's genetic characteristics can affect nutrition and vitamin absorption levels. Genetics can have a tremendous impact on the way our bodies use nutrients. Our genes influence how the body absorbs, transmits, and activates or eliminates nutrients. Here, Nutrigenetics is the science of how genetic variation affects the nutritional status of an individual. This is directly related to how an individual's genotype affects vitamin and mineral levels and whether you are at risk for deficiency. This can guide individuals to increase certain foods or take supplements to achieve optimal nutrition.

In general, the recommended amount of vitamin supplements or food does not take into account the individual's genetics. Some people may be low in B12, folic acid, and zinc. Others may have problems with the rate of absorption of vitamin C.

Genetic testing can help you find a healthy body balance by matching the right nutrients in consideration of your genetic characteristics.

For example, if there is an abnormality in the MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) gene, the methylation process is not smooth in the liver and kidney, the production of phosphatidylcholine, which helps to stabilize the cell membrane, decreases, and homocysteine in the blood increases. It is known to be. These symptoms can cause depression, insomnia, habitual miscarriage, anxiety, allergies, and infertility. In particular, when homocysteine increases, homocysteineosis, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and increased blood coagulation tendency may occur. In the case of the MTHFR gene, two mutations are mainly identified. There are cases where the sequence of MTHFRC677C is changed to C677T or the sequence of MTHFR A1298A is changed to A1298C.

If there is a mutation, a part of the function of the MTHFR enzyme is lost and the efficiency decreases. In the case of C677C/C677T, the efficiency of about 30% decreases, and in the case of C677T/C677T, the efficiency of about 70% decreases. In the case of the A1298A/A1298C, the efficiency may drop by about 20%, and in the case of the A1298C/A1298C, the efficiency may drop by about 40%. If it has the trait of C677T/A1298C, the efficiency may drop by about 50%.

If the MTHFR gene analysis is confirmed as a heterozygous or homozygous with a mutation, the methylated active nutrients of vitamin B9 and vitamin B12 are recommended by applying the effect ratio to compensate for the problem of the methylation process in the body.

Here, when the genetic test related to the nutrient absorption rate becomes possible, a type of nutrient that can directly increase the absorption rate can be recommended to people with a gene whose absorption rate is low. In this case, the recommended amount corrected according to the genotype can be displayed instead of the recommended amount according to the product information.

If the gene rs33972313 of the SLC23A1 gene is GA and the gene rs11950646 is AG or GG, vitamin C is recommended to increase the absorption rate as much as possible, and if rs33972313 is GA, twice the amount of vitamin C (vitamin C 1000~2000mg or more) ), or if rs11950646 is AG or GG, twice the amount of normal vitamin C (vitamin C 1000~2000mg or more) can be recommended.
