Summary and Explanation of the Test
BACKGROUND
The human TCR gamma gene locus on chromosome 7 (7q14) includes 14 variable (V) genes belonging to four (4) subgroups (six (6) are functional; three (3) Open Reading Frames and five (5) pseudogenes), five (5) J segments and two (2) C genes spread over 200 kilobases. However, this standardized multiplex PCR assay detects the vast majority of clonal TCR gamma gene rearrangements using only two (2) multiplex master mixes.SUMMARY
Invivoscribe’s gene rearrangement and translocation assays represent a simple approach to PCR-based clonality testing. These standardized assays were carefully optimized testing positive and negative control samples using multiplex master mixes. This test kit includes three master mixes. Tubes A and B target framework regions within the variable (V) region and the joining (J) region of the TCR gamma chain locus. The Specimen Control Size Ladder master mix targets multiple genes and generates a series of amplicons of 100, 200, 300, 400, and 600 base pair (bp) to ensure the quality and quantity of input DNA is adequate to yield a valid result. -
Specimen Requirements
This assay tests genomic DNA.
Disclaimer
This assay is based on the EuroClonality/BIOMED-2 Concerted Action BMH4-CT98-3936.
