Abstract OBJECTIVES: The World Health Organization (WHO) had designated the SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.529 as the new Variant of Concern Omicron (VOC-Omicron) on 26(th) November 2021(1). Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) tests were widely employed to detect SARS-CoV-2 and its variant. Yet, the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron detection performance of commercial real-time RT-PCR platforms and SARS-CoV-2 spike SNP assays remain to be elucidated. METHODS: In the first part of this study, we evaluated the VOC-Omicron detection performance of three commercial RT-PCR sample-to-answer platforms i.e. Roche cobas(R) 6800/8800, Roche cobas(R) Liat(R), and Cepheid GeneXpert(R) systems. The detection performances were compared to one commercial conventional real-time RT-PCR assay (TIB MOLBIOL LightMix Modular SARS and Wuhan CoV E-gene) and one in-house real-time RT-PCR assay targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) gene of SARS-CoV-2 in the WHO COVID-19 Reference Laboratory at Public Health Laboratory Services Branch, Centre for Health Protection, Department of Health, The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In the second part of this study, we evaluated the SNP detection performance of four TIB MOLBIOL melting curve-based assays (1. Spike S371L/S373P, 2. Spike E484A, 3. Spike E484K and 4. Spike N501Y) in clinical samples obtained from hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Hong Kong. The SNP results were compared to whole genome sequences generated by Illumina platform. RESULTS: The VOC-Omicron detection limits of three commercial sample-to-answer assays were tested to be

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.
  • Viral Reference: Refers to the standard virus strain used to compare and analyze viral sequences.
Functional Impact and Mechanisms
  • Disease: An abnormal physiological state with specific symptoms and signs caused by viral infection.
  • Immune: The article focuses on the study of mutations and immune.
  • Target Gene: Host genes that viral mutations may affect.
Clinical and Epidemiological Correlations
