Abstract Since the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant was first discovered, several variants showing different infectivity and immune responses have emerged globally. As the conventional method, whole-genome sequencing following polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is currently used for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 mutations. However, these conventional PCR-based direct DNA sequencing methods are time-consuming, complicated, and require expensive DNA sequencing modules. Here, we developed a fluorometric method for the accurate detection of a single missense mutation of U to G in the spike (S) gene that changes leucine to arginine (L452R) in SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA. Our method for the detection of single-nucleotide mutations (SNM) in the viral RNA genome includes RNA sequence-dependent DNA ligation and tandem isothermal gene amplification methods, such as strand displacement amplification (SDA) and rolling circle amplification (RCA) generating G-quadruplex (GQ). In the presence of SNM in the viral RNA, ligation of both ends of the probe DNAs occurs between 5'-phosphorylated hairpin DNA and linear probe DNA that can discriminate a single base mismatch. The ligated DNAs were then extended to generate long-stem hairpin DNAs that are subjected to the first isothermal gene amplification (SDA). SDA produces multitudes of short ssDNA from the long-stem hairpin DNAs, which then serve as primers by annealing to circular padlock DNA for the second isothermal gene amplification (RCA). RCA produces a long stretch of ssDNA containing GQ structures. Thioflavin T (ThT) is then intercalated into GQ and emits green fluorescence, which allows the fluorometric identification of SARS-CoV-2 variants. This fluorometric analysis sensitively distinguished SNM in the L452R variant of SARS-CoV-2 RNA as low as 10 pM within 2 h. Hence, this fluorometric detection method using ligation-assisted tandem isothermal gene amplification can be applied for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 SNM variants with high accuracy and sensitivity, without the need for cumbersome whole-genome DNA sequencing.
