Rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 variants using allele-specific PCR

Tracking severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants through whole genome sequencing (WGS) is vital for effective infection control and prevention (IPC) measures, but can be time-consuming and resource-heavy. We describe an in-house validation of an allele-specific polymera...

description Tracking severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants through whole genome sequencing (WGS) is vital for effective infection control and prevention (IPC) measures, but can be time-consuming and resource-heavy. We describe an in-house validation of an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (ASP) variant assay to detect variants of concern (VOC). ASP sensitivity for detecting Delta, Alpha and Beta was 99.45 %, 100 %, and 66.67 %, respectively, compared with WGS. Specificity was 100 % in detecting all three VOC. ASP generated results 1.3 days faster compared with WGS. These findings suggest using variant assays such as ASP may enhance epidemiological surveillance and IPC measures.
