A number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are considered to be candidate susceptibility or resistance genetic factors for multifactorial disease. Genome-wide searches for disease susceptibility regions followed by high-resolution mapping of primary genes require cost-effective and highly reliable technology. To accomplish successful and low-cost typing for candidate SNPs, new technologies must be developed. We previously reported a multiplex SNP typing method, designated the DigiTag assay, that has the potential to analyze nearly any SNP with high accuracy and reproducibility. However, the DigiTag assay requires multiple washing steps in manipulation and uses genotyping probes modified with biotin for each target SNP. Here we describe the next version of the assay, DigiTag2, which works with simple protocols and uses unmodified genotyping probes. We investigated the feasibility of the DigiTag2 assay by genotyping 96 target SNPs spanning a 610-kb region of human chromosome 5. The DigiTag2 assay is suitable for genotyping an intermediate number of SNPs (tens to hundreds of sites) with a high conversion rate (>90%), high accuracy, and low cost.
