There was no identifiable green fluorescence coming from the drop. Patient 1 had an average initial PCR product concentration of approximately -6.034 ug/ml Patient 48246 : All the images for patient 2 had a clear and indentifiable green fluorescence coming from the drop. Patient 2 had an average initial PCR product concentration of approximately 15.727 ug/mL Conclusions Patient 88697 : Patient 1 had an average initial PCR product concentration of approximately -6.034 ug/mL. This value differed from the negative control by approximately 1.337 ug/mL and differed from the positive control by approximately 13.275. Since the concentration is closer to the negative control, patient 1 is negative. All 3 of patient 1's initial concentrations were much closer to the negative control. Patient 48246 : Patient 2 had an average initial PCR product concentration of approximately 15.727 ug/mL. This value differed from the negative control by approximately 23.098 ug/mL and differed from the positive control by approximately 8.486 ug/mL. Since the concentration is closer to the positive control, patient 2 is positive. All 3 of patient 2's initial concentrations were much closer to the positive control. SNP Information & Primer Design Background: About the Disease SNP Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA. They consist of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. A polymorphism is a presence of genetic variation within a population. In this section we are focusing on SNPs, or single nucleotide polymorphism. SNP rs16991654 is found in homosapiens and is located in the 21:34370656 chromosome. This SNP has a clinical significance because it is pathogenic with diseases like congenital long QT syndromes being linked to it. KCNE2 stands for potassium voltage-gated channels and its function primarily consists of regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction and cell volume. Primer Design and Testing To design primer pairs for PCR, the non-disease forward primer contains 20 bases and ends with the disease codon. The reverse non-disease primer also contains 20 bases, and is found 200 base pairs to the right on the bottom strand. To create disease primer pairs, the SNP is applied to the appropriate nucleotide in the forward primer. The reverse primer does not change when diseased. When testing both primers, we found that the search returned the non-diseased sequence since it is part of the healthy human genome. The reason why the diseased variation did not come up in the search is because it is not a part of the healthy human genome, it is a SNP.
