A number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are considered to be candidate susceptibility or resistance genetic factors for multifactorial disease. Genome-wide searches for disease susceptibility regions followed by high-resolution mapping of primary genes require cost-effective and highly reliable technology. To accomplish successful and low-cost typing for candidate SNPs, new technologies must be developed. We previously reported a multiplex SNP typing method, designated the DigiTag assay, that has the potential to analyze nearly any SNP with high accuracy and reproducibility. However, the DigiTag assay requires multiple washing steps in manipulation and uses genotyping probes modified with biotin for each target SNP. Here we describe the next version of the assay, DigiTag2, which works with simple protocols and uses unmodified genotyping probes. We investigated the feasibility of the DigiTag2 assay by genotyping 96 target SNPs spanning a 610-kb region of human chromosome 5. The DigiTag2 assay is suitable for genotyping an intermediate number of SNPs (tens to hundreds of sites) with a high conversion rate (>90%), high accuracy, and low cost.

Association of disease severity with toll-like receptor polymorphisms in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients.
Int J Mycobacteriol

Background: The disease severity in pulmonary Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) varies from mild to severe, which is determined by host and pathogen virulence factors. The difference of symptoms felt by TB patients were interesting to investigate in discovering whether its the human immune response or bacteria's virulence gene that plays the role. The aim of this research was to analyze association between disease severity degree of pulmonary MDR-TB patients with Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found in toll-like receptors (TLRs) gene.

Nephrotic syndrome is the most common cause of chronic glomerular disease in children. Most of these patients develop steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS), but the loci conferring susceptibility to childhood SSNS are mainly unknown. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in the Japanese population; 224 patients with childhood SSNS and 419 adult healthy controls were genotyped using the Affymetrix Japonica Array in the discovery stage.

In this study, we genotyped 117 autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms using a DigiTag2 assay to assess the genetic diversity, structure and relationships of 16 Eurasian cattle populations, including nine cattle breeds and seven native cattle. Phylogenetic and principal component analyses showed that Bos taurus and Bos indicus populations were clearly distinguished, whereas Japanese Shorthorn and Japanese Polled clustered with European populations. Furthermore, STRUCTURE analysis demonstrated the distinct separation between Bos taurus and Bos indicus (K=2), and between European and Asian populations (K=3).

A multipurpose high-throughput genotyping tool for the assessment of recent epidemiological data and evolutional pattern in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) clinical isolates was developed in this study. To facilitate processing, 51 highly informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected for discriminating the clinically most relevant MTBC species and genotyping M. tuberculosis into its principle genetic groups (PGGs) and SNP cluster groups (SCGs).

Introduction: Impulsivity in intertemporal choice has been operationalized as "delay discounting", referring to the preference for a sooner, smaller reward. FK506 binding protein 5 (FKBP5) is a co-chaperone of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). FKBP5 overexpression causes GR resistance, resulting in increased plasma cortisol levels.
