Rapid (<2 min) and quantitative genotyping for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with spinal muscular atrophy was done using a reusable (approximately 80 cycles of application) fibre-optic biosensor over a clinically relevant range (0-4 gene copies). Sensors were functionalized with oligonucleotide probes immobilized at high density (similar to7 pmol/cm(2)) to impart enhanced selectivity for SNP discrimination and used in a total internal reflection fluorescence detection motif to detect 202 bp PCR amplicons from patient samples. Real-time detection may be done over a range of ionic strength conditions (0.1-1.0 M) without stringency rinsing to remove non-selectively bound materials and without loss of selectivity, permitting a means for facile sample preparation. By using the time-derivative of fluorescence intensity as the analytical parameter, linearity of response may be maintained while allowing for significant reductions in analysis time (10-100-fold), permitting for the completion of measurements in under 1 min.
