We have developed a novel approach to fabricate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) library on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) based on adaptor PCR. Each SNP locus in the library was interrogated by hybridization with a pair of allele specific dual-color fluorescence (Cy3, Cy5) probes to determine SNP. Two SNPs loci (M235T and A-6G) associated with essential hypertension in the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene were detected by this method and their fluorescent signals were quantified. The fluorescent ratios (match probe: mismatch probe signal) of homozygous genotypes were over 3.0, whereas heterozygous genotypes had ratios near to 1.0. Without any complex multiplex PCR procedure, it is a simple, efficient and reliable method for the multiplex SNPs detection using limited amount of DNA samples from individuals.

Abstract. An association between intelligence at age 7 and a set of five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been identified and replicated. We used this composite SNP set to investigate whether the associations differ between boys and girls for general cognitive ability at ages 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 10 years. In a longitudinal community sample of British twins aged 2-10 (n > 4,000 individuals), we found that the SNP set is more strongly associated with intelligence in males than in females at ages 7, 9, and 10 and the difference is significant at 10. If this finding replicates in other studies, these results will constitute the first evidence of the same autosomal genes acting differently on intelligence in the two sexes.
