This immune response has been reported to be genetically diverse, due to polymorphisms coded by different genes. For this reason, our purpose was to develop a multiplex assay that allows the genotyping of candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in innate immune genes.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We developed three multiplex PCR panels coupled with the minisequencing (SNaPshot) technique (multiplex PCR, multiplex primer extension, and capillary electrophoresis). The panels were tested in a sample set composed of 100 anonymous DNAs from healthy blood donors living in S\u00e3o Miguel Island (Azores, Portugal). Sixteen relevant SNPs among nine genes of the innate immune system \u2013 <jats:italic>IL1\u03b1<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>IL1\u03b2<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>IL6<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>IL10<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>IL12RB1<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>TLR2<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>TLR4<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>TLR9<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>CD14<\/jats:italic> \u2013 were genotyped and validated by direct sequencing, with the exception of one that was undetected by minisequencing. We suggest that these panels can be used in future studies for detection of risk gene variants in several populations and\/or diseases.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In summary, we propose a multiplex assay that is able to identify the most frequent candidate SNPs in innate immune genes, using a medium scale genotyping platform.
