The aim of this work was to develop a generic platform for the electrochemical detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) via isothermal solid-phase primer elongation and exploiting ferrocene-labelled 2’-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNFcTPs). Two examples of the application of this platform will be described, the first using Klenow (exo-) DNA polymerase for the detection of a single SNP linked to resistance to the antibiotic rifampicin in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the second using isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification to the direct multiplexed detection of SNPs associated with a predisposition to bone facture and osteoporosis.
