Targeted CpG Methylation Analysis in CACNA1C

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
iPLEX assays for six selected CpG sites in CGI 3, located in intron 3 of CACNA1C, were designed using Assay Designer in Typer 4.0 (Sequenom) using bioinformatically bisulfite-converted sequences of the targeted region. Inosine was added to oligonucleotide sequences that contained overlapping CpGs or SNPs. No more than one inosine was allowed in an oligonucleotide to ensure binding specificity. The oligonucleotide sequences for the iPLEX assays are listed in Supplementary Table 3. The amplified products were prepared according to iPLEX manual and dispensed on the same equipment as described above. The data were analyzed in Allelotype mode. Quality control and detection of allele ratios (as a measure of methylation status) were performed using Typer 4.0 (Sequenom). The data were subsequently imported into R (www.r-project.org) for statistical analyses. During all experimental work and QC, the investigator was blinded to affection status. Cases and controls were in addition spread in between each other on each plate during bisulfite conversion and Sequenom analysis to avoid experimental batch effects.

Genotyping Genetic Loci Using Sequenom MassARRAY

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Sequenom MassARRAY system was used for genotyping genetic loci, and the analysis was performed as follows: 1) PCR amplification of DNA segments containing ANP loci. Purified genomic DNA samples were diluted to specific volumes, and 1 μl of each sample was added to specific wells of a 384-well plate. Next, 4 μl of the PCR amplification system was added, which contained Taq polymerase (1 U), genomic DNA (10 ng), PCR primers (0.1 μmol/l each), and dNTPs (500 μmol/l). PCR was performed at 94°C for 15 min, followed by 45 cycles of 20 s at 94°C, 30 s at 56°C, and 60 s at 72°C with a final extension step of 3 min at 72°C. 2) Shrimp alkaline phosphatase (SAP; 0.5 U) was added to eliminate residual dNTPs, and the reactions were incubated at 37°C for 40 min and then at 85°C for 5 min. 3) The samples were examined after PCR product purification and single base extension, and they were desalted by rinsing. Sample application and spectrometric detection were performed, and the experimental results were analyzed by TYPER 4.0 (Sequenom) to generate genotype data.

Saliva DNA Genotyping by MALDI-TOF MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We designed the primers using Assay Design 3.1 software (Sequenom Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), whose details were presented in Supplementary Table S1.
All consenting participants contributed a 2-mL saliva sample using DNA saliva self-collection tube (Beijing Thinkout Sci-Tech Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). DNA was extracted and purified from all saliva samples via a DNA purification kit (Beijing BioTeke Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). DNA fragments were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), whose reaction volume was 5 μL containing 20 ng of genomic DNA template. The PCR product was digested with shrimp alkaline phosphatase (Sequenom Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Following digestion, the amplified fragment was extended in a 9 μL reaction volume and resolved on a 4% agarose gel. All SNPs were genotyped using the high-throughput genotyping platform, conducted by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and the data was collected via the TYPER 4.0 in the MassARRAY System (Sequenom Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Furthermore, genotyping was repeated in 5% of all samples to verify the accuracy of the results, revealing that the proportion of concordance was greater than 99%.

Genotyping of GBA and APOE Mutations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The focus of this study was on the most common GBA mutations: N370S and L444P. In addition, we evaluated IVS2+1G>A and V394L. The apolioprotein E4 (ApoE4) was also genotyped as it has known associations with cognitive decline (Harold et al., 2009 (link); Lambert et al., 2009 (link); Verghese et al., 2013 (link)). For those participants who provided consent for genotyping, DNA was extracted from peripheral blood or saliva by standard techniques and screened for SNPs corresponding to IVS2+1G>A, N370S, L444P, and V394L.
PCR and extension primers were designed from sequences containing each target SNP with 100 upstream and downstream bases using Assay Design Suite (a design tool hosted at www.mysequenom.com). Single-base extension reactions were performed on the PCR reactions with the iPlex Gold Kit (Sequenom, San Diego, CA, USA) A Sequenom Compact Mass Array Spectrometer was used to perform (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight) mass spectrometry according to the iPlex Gold Application Guide (Sequenom Document #11555, July 22, 2009 version.) The software package Typer 4 (Sequenom) was used to analyze the resulting spectra and the genotype of each SNP/sample was determined from the measured mass of each extended oligo.

Genotyping of SNP Haplotypes in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Sequenom assay was designed to analyze five SNPs that identified the common risk haplotypes on Chr1 (containing the Y402H variant) and Chr10 (near ARMS2/HTRA1). Primers were designed using Sequenom SNP Assay Design software version 3.0 for iPLEX reactions. The protocol and reaction conditions were in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The panel analyzed three SNPs that identified the common Chr1 risk haplotype and two SNPs that identified the common Chr10 risk haplotype (SI Appendix, Table S1); more than one SNP was analyzed for each of these common risk loci to ensure that the genotyping of samples was correct. Genotype identification was performed using the MassARRAY system from Sequenom. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight MS spectra from the Sequenom MassARRAY Analyzer 4 instrument were analyzed using Typer 4.0.20 software (Sequenom). Automated fluorescent cycle DNA sequencing was performed using an Applied Biosystems model 3730 DNA analyzer. STADEN (36 (link)) package Pregap4 1.4b1 software version 1.8b1 (Medical Research Council, Laboratory of Molecular Biology) was used for analysis of sequencing data.

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
