Abstract
Rapid detection of single nucleotide variations (SNVs) is of critical importance to early diagnosis of several diseases and the prediction of diverse responses to a specific treatment. Based on the information published in the literature, discrimination of SNVs is a developing area of study with great research enthusiasm and is also an area that can benefit from microfluidics-integrated designs. This review provides a brief overview of different microfluidics-based strategies for rapid detection of SNVs and mismatched bases. Sensors based on various microfluidic formats, such as paper-based microfluidic biosensors, droplet-based microfluidic systems, and magnetic bead-based microfluidic biosensors, have been discussed with respect to their specific pros and cons for SNV detection. These systems have shown promise for distributed on-site diagnostics in personalized medicine.
