AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This approach provides a high degree of accuracy in telomere length measurement, reducing variability and improving clinical assessments and therapeutic strategies by quantifying telomere length ratios effectively.

Problems solved by technology

One critical issue with this conversion is that TRF contains a region of non-telomeric sequence at its centromeric end (subtelomeric sequence).

PCR Assay

[0237]Each PCR reaction was carried out in a total volume of 10 μL per well of a standard 384 well assay plate. The standard reaction mix contained the following components: 5 ng target DNA, 1.0 μM EvaGreen® Dye (Biotium, Hayward, Calif.), 300 nM Tel G modified primer, 300 nM Tel C modified primer, 300 nM B2M-F primer, 300 nM 82M-R primer, 100 nM B2M probe, 1× RNase P Mix (TaqMan® Copy Number Reference Assay RNase P, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), 1× Quantifast Probe PCR Master Mix (QIAGEN, Inc., Germantown, Md.). Table 2 below provides various primer sequences.

t of the Effect of Tel G Modified and Tel C Modified Primer Concentration

[0240]The standard reaction conditions described above were used, except that the concentration of the Tel G modified and Tel C modified were varied. The following concentrations were examined: 400 nM Tel G modified and 400 nM Tel C modified; 300 nM Tel G modified and 100 nM Tel C modified; 600 nM Tel G modified and 100 nM Tel C modified; 300 nM Tel G modified and 300 nM Tel C modified; and 600 nM Tel G modified and 300 nM Tel C modified. The melting curves for the reactions with the foregoing Tel G modified / Tel C modified primer concentrations are shown in FIG. 2A-FIG. 2F. The data show that when the reaction was carried out with 300 nM Tel G modified and 300 nM Tel C modified, all three targets have similar amplification amplitude, suggesting that all three PCR reactions generate approximately similar amounts of products and the assay reaches the desired balance for the three targets. Comparable amounts of th...

tion Efficiency

[0241]An 8-point 2-fold serial dilution of the Mosaic Male genomic DNA was used to calculate the PCR efficiencies. The DNA concentration in the final PCR reaction for each point is shown in Table 5. The PCR efficiencies of each of the target for each primer combination tested were obtained with absolute quantification method in the Roche LC480 program and are summarized in Table 6.

Abstract

Disclosed are methods and compositions for determining the average length or abundance of a first target nucleic by calculating the abundance of a first target nucleic acid (T) relative to the average abundance (S) of a second and a third target nucleic acid, in a single well using a separate detection label for each target nucleic acid. In various aspects, the first target nucleic acid is a telomere. In exemplary aspects, the disclosed methods and compositions can be used to determine the average telomere length in a biological sample. The average telomere length determined using the disclosed methods and compositions can be correlated to a variety of clinically important conditions and indices. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
