Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood using standard protocols for genetic analysis40 (link). Variants genotyping was done using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry by Bioyong Technologies (Beijing, China) following manufacturers’ instructions14 (link)47 (link). Locus-specific amplifying primers, and single-base extending primers, were designed using Sequenom Assay Design 3.1 software, and were synthesized and diluted as required. Primer quality was assayed using a mass spectrometric system42 (link)48 (link). Locus-specific amplification by multiplex PCR, and purification of PCR products, were conducted as previously described14 (link)47 (link)49 (link). MassARRAY Typer 4.0 software (Sequenom) was used to analyze spectrometric results and generate the genotype data of each variant50 (link). All the procedures were performed by investigators blinded to sample status, i.e., from case or control subjects. Duplicate samples, positive and negative controls, were included to confirm genotyping accuracy. Direct sequencing of the amplicons containing these variants in 8% of randomly selected samples was carried out as quality controls to test the reliability51 (link)52 (link).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We extracted genomic DNA from whole blood using the EZgene Blood gDNA Miniprep Kit (Biomiga, San Diego, CA). MIR137 rs1625579 and ZNF804A rs1344706 were then genotyped using the iPLEX Gold Assay (Sequenom, San Diego, CA), following the manufacturer's instructions and using primers (Supplementary Table 1), and designed using Sequenom Assay Design 3.1 software. The accuracy of genotyping was assessed by analyzing every sample in duplicate. Alleles were automatically called with Sequenom's MassARRAY Typer 4.0 software and verified by two independent reviewers. Three subjects with missing genotype data were excluded from further analysis. MIR137 GG genotypes were not identified in our current population. The reference frequency of rs1625579 in dbSNP database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?rs=1625579) supports this phenomenon.

Amplification reactions (5 μL) consisted of 1 μL DNA (20 ng/μL) and 4 μL Master Mix, and reaction conditions were as follows: 94°C for 5 min, then 45 cycles of 94°C for 20 sec and 56°C for 30 sec, followed by 72°C for 1 min. Genotypes at rs13181 were analyzed using MassARRAY TYPER 4.0 software (Sequenom). Rates of successful genotyping were 99.8% (439/440) among the NPC patients and 100% (431/431) in controls.

The DC-SIGN SNPs rs7252229, rs4804803, rs2287886, and rs735240 were genotyped in all subjects as described [17 (link)] using allele-specific matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, with support from BGI (Beijing, China). Fragments spanning the SNPs were amplified by PCR using primers designed with MassARRAY Assay Design 3.1 Software (Sequenom, San Diego, CA, USA). Amplifications were conducted in a 384-well ABI Veriti PCR System (Applied Biosystems) following the manufacturer's instructions. Amplification reactions (5 μL) contained 4 μL Master Mix and 1 μL DNA (20 ng/μL), and reaction conditions were as follows: 94°C for 5 min, followed by 45 cycles of 94°C for 20 sec, 56°C for 30 sec, and 72°C for 1 min. Alleles were analyzed using MassARRAY TYPER 4.0 software (Sequenom). Successful genotyping rates were 99.8% (560/561) in the control group for rs7252229, rs4804803, and rs735240, respectively, and were 99.8% (476/477) in the NPC group and 99.6% (559/561) in the control group for rs2287886.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A MassARRAY3 Analyzer (Sequenom Inc, San Diego, CA) with iPLEX Gold Genotyping Reagent (Sequenom Inc) was used to validate the 286 candidates, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, MassARRAY Typer4 Assay Designer (Sequenom Inc) designed the 286 PCR primer pairs and 286 iPLEX primers as single-base extension primers for each candidate. We used 37 genomic DNA samples, including 35 samples from the TOY-KO pedigree and two control samples, as well as C57BL/6J and the original ES cell DNA to determine the origin of the de novo mutations in the TOY-KO pedigree. Ten nanograms of genomic DNA were used in each multiplex PCR for the MassARRAY. After dephosphorylation, single-base extension with the iPLEX primer and desalting were performed. The reaction products were spotted onto a 384-format SpectroCHIP with a MassARRAY Nanodispenser (Sequenom Inc) and then subjected to a MassARRAY 3 analyzer (Sequenom Inc). MassARRAY Typer 4.0 software (Sequenom Inc) was used to analyze the mass spectrum data.

About PubCompare

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.
