Abstract
BACKGROUND: In recent research, it has been shown that rs2289487 within the PLIN1 gene has different variants that have been associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other diseases. However, the isochizomers such as the BsmI enzyme required for detection of this polymorphism through polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method are expensive. In this study, we aimed to explore a novel PCR-RFLP method for identifying the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of rs2289487 of PLIN1 gene. METHODS: A new restriction enzyme site was created through created restriction site PCR. In the forward primer, a deoxynucleotide A was substituted with C, and after PCR a new restriction enzyme site for BstUI was introduced into the PCR products. A total of 108 samples from Han Chinese were tested to evaluate this new method. RESULTS: Allele frequencies in the Asian population were 0.326 for allele A and 0.674 for allele G, and the genotype frequencies were 12.8% for AA, 39.5% for AG, and 47.7% for GG. CONCLUSION: The PCR-RFLP with new site for detecting the SNP of rs2289487 is an improved method with low cost and high accuracy.
