Abstract Laboratory tests for the accurate and rapid identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants can potentially guide the treatment of COVID-19 patients and inform infection control and public health surveillance efforts. Here, we present the development and validation of a rapid COVID-19 variant DETECTR assay incorporating loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) followed by CRISPR-Cas12 based identification of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) gene. This assay targets the L452R, E484K/Q/A, and N501Y mutations, at least one of which is found in nearly all major variants. In a comparison of three different Cas12 enzymes, only the newly identified enzyme CasDx1 was able to accurately identify all targeted SNP mutations. An analysis pipeline for CRISPR-based SNP identification from 261 clinical samples yielded a SNP concordance of 97.3% and agreement of 98.9% (258 of 261) for SARS-CoV-2 lineage classification, using SARS-CoV-2 whole-genome sequencing and/or real-time RT-PCR as test comparators. We also showed that detection of the single E484A mutation was necessary and sufficient to accurately identify Omicron from other major circulating variants in patient samples. These findings demonstrate the utility of CRISPR-based DETECTR as a faster and simpler diagnostic method compared with sequencing for SARS-CoV-2 variant identification in clinical and public health laboratories.

Note
Basic Characteristics of Mutations
  • Mutation Site: The specific location in a gene or protein sequence where a change occurs.
  • Mutation Level: The level at which a mutation occurs, including the nucleotide or amino acid level.
  • Mutation Type: The nature of the mutation, such as missense mutation, nonsense mutation, synonymous mutation, etc.
  • Gene/Protein/Region: Refers to the specific region of the virus where the mutation occurs. Including viral genes, viral proteins, or a specific viral genome region. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main
  • Gene/Protein/Region studied in the article is marked.
  • Genotype/Subtype: Refers to the viral genotype or subtype where the mutation occurs. If the article does not specifically indicate the relationship between the mutation and its correspondence, the main Genotype/Subtype studied in the article is marked.
