Quantitation of JAK2 V617F Allele Burden by Using the QuantStudio™ 3D Digital PCR System

Abstract:
The JAK2 V617F mutation is highly prevalent in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Furthermore, it has been shown that its allelic burden correlates with hematologic characteristics, drug response, and clinical endpoints in MPN patients. Digital PCR is an emerging technology for sensitive mutation detection and quantitation, based on dilution and high-grade partitioning of a sample. Here, we describe the use of the nanofluidic chip-based QuantStudio™ 3D Digital PCR System for quantitation of the JAK2 V617F mutation.

Multiple Allele Traits
Lethal Alleles
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
