Abstract

A nucleic acid amplification blocker for detecting a low-abundance mutation sequence and an application thereof in detecting a low-abundance mutation sequence are provided. The nucleic acid amplification blocker is an oligonucleotide modified by locked nucleic acid (LNA), and the matching region of the nucleic acid amplification blocker is located between amplified sequences. The nucleic acid amplification blocker is completely complementary to wild-type gene sequence, and contains at least one mismatch with mutant sequence. The nucleic acid amplification blocker has a great difference in affinity with mutant nucleic acid sequence/wild-type nucleic acid sequence, so as to achieve the purpose of highly selective amplification/enrichment of mutant sequence in samples. The nucleic acid amplification blocker has more significant detection effect on deletion mutation and insertion mutation.
