Abstract

Rapid and accurate detection of genetic mutations based on nanotechnology would provide substantial advances in detection of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a disease whose current methods of detection are cumbersome due to the large size and duplication of the mutated gene. In this study, a nanotechnology-based DNA assay was developed for detection of SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) in a feline autosomal dominant PKD (ADPKD) model which can readily be adapted to diagnosis of human ADPKD type 1. Europium and terbium phosphors were doped into gadolinium crystal hosts with a magnetic core, providing stable luminescence and the possibility of magnetic manipulations in a solution-based assay. A hybridization-in-solution DNA assay was optimized for feline PKD gene SNP detection using genomic DNA extracted from feline kidney tissue and blood. This assay showed a substantial differentiation between PKD and control specimens. The nanotechnology-based DNA assay is attractive from the viewpoint of rapid availability, simple methodology, and cost reduction for clinical use to detect mutations involved in human ADPKD and other genetic diseases.
