Description

Primers and probes for detecting copy number variation of BRCA1 and 2 genes
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of molecular biology detection, in particular to a primer and a probe for detecting copy number variation of BRCA1 and 2 genes.
Background
BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes (BRCA 1/2 genes) are two excellent genes capable of inhibiting malignant tumor occurrence, and play an important role in damage repair and normal growth of cells. The BRCA1/2 gene is the most main susceptibility gene of familial hereditary breast cancer and ovarian cancer; the risk of suffering from breast cancer and ovarian cancer of individuals with BRCA1 gene mutation is 50% -85% and 15% -45%, respectively, and the risk of suffering from breast cancer and ovarian cancer of individuals with BRCA2 gene mutation is 50% -85% and 10% -20%, respectively.
There are two pathogenic mutant forms of the BRCA1/2 gene, one of which is represented by a frameshift mutation, nonsense mutation and missense mutation caused by single or several base changes. Another form of pathogenic mutation involves changes of hundreds to millions of base pairs, often changes in one or more exons, including base deletions, duplications, insertions, inversions, ectopic, etc., known as large fragment rearrangements (large genomic rearrangements, LGRs). The incidence rate of the BRCA1/2 gene LGRs of breast cancer patients is 2.2%, which accounts for 10.8% of all pathogenic gene mutations of BRCA 1/2. Although occurring at a relatively low frequency, LGRs can lead to abnormal peptide chain structure and protein function of mutations, once they occur, LGRs are often pathogenic, and BRCA1/2 germ line LGRs are transmitted in the family, leading to the continued occurrence of breast cancer ovarian cancer patients in the family, with a great deal of harm. Therefore, for families with family history of breast cancer and ovarian cancer, the mutation state of BRCA1/2 in the families is determined through gene detection, and the method is very important for the treatment of tumor patients in the families and the prevention and screening of tumors of healthy carriers.
The deletion and repetition of large segments of genes, also known as gene Copy Number Variation (CNVs), are currently detected by methods directed to the CNV variation of BRCA1/2 genes, mainly comprising: multiplex Ligation Probe Amplification (MLPA), real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), microarray comparative gene hybridization (array-CGH), affymetrix CNV chip technology, second generation gene sequencing technology, and the like. The arrate-CGH, affymetrix CNV chip technology and the second generation gene sequencing technology are mainly used for detecting copy number variation of the whole genome, are accurate and efficient, but have relatively high cost; the RT-qPCR technology is simple and easy to operate, but has low flux, and is difficult to realize simultaneous detection of a plurality of fragments; MLPA is a mode of detecting and comparing the copy number of specific gene fragments to be mature so far, and is realized by a first generation sequencing platform, however, the method also has certain limitations, such as higher requirements on sample DNA, lower detection flux, easy occurrence of false positive as a result, and the like. Up to now, there is no formed copy number detection kit for BRCA1/2 gene on the market.
The information disclosed in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the application and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
