Two electrochemical bioplatforms were prepared based on thiolated hairpin DNA probes tethered to AuNP-modified screen-printed electrodes to detect T > G and T > C polymorphisms, namely rs1880269 and rs1800469, present the interleukin-6 (IL6) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) genes. The electrochemical readout was ensured by the detection of the double-stranded DNA using methylene blue as a redox probe after treatment by EcoRI restrictase. The main parameters influencing the analytical response such as the thiolated DNA probe concentration, incubation time with electrode, DNA hybridization time, EcoRI enzyme load, and its cleavage time were optimized based on the current intensity and signal-to-blank (S/B) ratio as selection criteria. Using spiked buffer solutions, the IL6 and TGFβ1 E-bioplatforms display wide ranges of linearity (1 × 10
TL;DR

Two electrochemical bioplatforms prepared based on thiolated hairpin DNA probes tethered to AuNP-modified screen-printed electrodes successfully detected the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in scarcely diluted genomic DNA and showed they can reliably distinguish between heterozygous and homozygous patients with respect to the control subjects.
