Conclusions Patient POS : 2 out of three of the runs ran closer in similarity to the positive control Patient POS : All three of the runs were closer to the positive test SNP Information & Primer Design Background: About the Disease SNP An SNP is a single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP). An SNP occurs when a nucleotide pair, the monomers that create DNA, is altered changing the gene it is contained in creating a polymorphism, a genetic variation. These SNPs occur naturally in biological genomes and through natural selection these mutations are controlled. When an SNP occurs it creates a new allele, a variation in the gene, in a population that if not detrimental will be passed on to the next generation. It is usual for there to be only two different alleles for a specific gene which is the case for the SNP being studied. The disease SNP being studied is rs268. This SNP occurs in Homo Sapiens on the eighth chromosome. The clinical significance of this SNP is that it is pathogenic and it is associated with the LPL gene, the lipoprotein lipase. This gene is involved with processes such as apolipoprotein binding, chylomicron remodeling, and anchoring components of the membrane. This disease is responsible for metabolic syndrome that increase blood pressure, cholesterol levels, excess fat, and blood sugar levels which increases a person risk for stroke, diabetes, and heart disease. The normal allele of this gene is AAT but when the disease is present the mutation creates an allele of AGT. Primer Design and Testing The primers worked as expected producing one positive test and one negative test. In the positive test the diseased primer was shown to work. In the negative test the non-disease primer was shown to work. The primers worked by bonding to the DNA and allowing replication to occur if they matched properly. By getting replicated DNA it was confirmed that the primers worked because they were attached. The primers were different at two different points in the forward direction. The non-disease primer would bond allowing replication if the allele was negative for the disease because it ended in an 'A' nucleotide which the gene has if it does not have the disease. The disease primer bonded and allowed replication to occur if the diseased allele was because it ended in a 'G' which the gene would have in at that location if the disease was present. The two nucleotide primers can be seen below. Non-Disease Primer Disease Primer
