  • Our positive control PCR result was 0.053254815 μg/mL
  • Our negative control PCR result was -0.045810157 μg/mL

Observed results

  • Patient 16819 :

The droplets for patient 16819 had a big green area of DNA in the middle of the drops. DNA was not found around the top or bottom of the drop. Small amounts of green touched the sides of the droplet. Based on the calculation the amount of DNA for patient 16819 is 0.250202 μg/mL.

  • Patient 59134 :

The droplets for patient 59134 had more green in comparison to those of patient 16819. The green concentrated in the middle, touched the tops of the droplets, more densely touched the sides of the droplets, and still did not touch the bottom. Based on the calculation the amount of DNA for patient 59314 is 0.520013.

Conclusions

  • Patient 16819 :

After a comparison of the values of positive and negative controls compared to the values of patient 16819, it was determined that the values fell closer to the positive control. For this reason patient 16819 was determined to be positive for SNP.

  • Patient 59134 :

After a comparison between the values of the positive and negative controls to the values of patient 59134, it was determined that the patient's values fell closer to the positive control. Because of this, patient 59134 was determined to be positive for SNP.

Error Analysis: Errors were known to have occurred because some of the values obtained are impossible (negative values). The software was used correctly with accordance with the procedure explained in the Lab Workbook. After examination, some of the error can be attributed to different sized images of the droplets because they were taken with different zooms, causing error in the ImageJ calculations. The camera was alinged manually to the droplet each time, but zooming was necessary, and a standard zoom was not determined at the time of taking the pictures.




SNP Information & Primer Design

Background: About the Disease SNP

Part 1: What is a Nucleotide? A nucleotide is the primary building block of nucleic acids. They are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group.

What is a Polymorphism? A polymorphism is when two different phenotypes exists in the same population. For example, there are cheetahs who display a spotted fur, and there are cheetahs who display black fur.

rs268 This variation is found in homo sapiens. The variation is located on chromosome 8 The clinical significance of this SNP is that it is pathogenic. This SNP is associated with the LPL gene A disease associated with this SNP is Coronary Heart Disease

Part 2: LPL stands for Lipoprotein Lipase The LPL has several functions: apolipoprotein binding heparin binding lipoprotein lipase activity

An allele is a varying form of a gene. The disease-associated allele contains the sequence: AGT The numerical position of the SNP is: 19956018


Primer Design and Testing

When run through the primer test, the non-diseased primer was found to be in the human genome. This is because it is normally produced in the body. Conversely, the diseased primer returned no match because it does not appear in a healthy human genome, as it is a mutation.

The non-disease forward primer (20 nt): 5’ AATCTGGGCTATGAGATCAA

The numerical position exactly 200 bases to the right of the disease SNP is: 19956218

The non-disease reverse primer (20 nt): 5’ TGGGACTCGGGACCACAAAG

Disease forward primer (20 nt): 5’ AATCTGGGCTATGAGATCAG

Disease reverse primer (20 nt): 5’ TGGGACTCGGGACCACAAAG
