Gene Copy Number Analysis


Our lab has established expertise in determining genomic copy number, either as part of mutation analysis for a particular gene or to establish genomic copy number for a number of genes involved in tumor progression.

We also offer DNA extraction, methylation analysis and sequencing.

Features of our Service

  • Lab certified by the College of American Pathologists; our work meets high clinical standards
  • Established expertise in both QM-PCR (Quantitative multiplex PCR) and MLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification).
  • We will work with you to determine the best method for your needs
  • Unique platform for quantitative electrophoretic analysis
  • Incorporation of numerous internal and external controls

QM-PCR

  • New QM-PCR assays can be developed to include your genes of interest.
  • Lower cost per sample vs. MLPA
  • Available for use on un-fragmented genomic DNA, fresh blood samples and fresh or frozen tissue from non-paraffinized sources.
  • Approximately $25.00 per DNA sample for multiplex of 5-6 genes or exons of your choosing.

MLPA

  • Can be used on slightly fragmented genomic DNA or paraffinized tissue samples
  • Many kits currently exist for testing various genes & gene combinations
  • Requires normal control samples from sending lab
  • Approximately $50.00 per DNA sample for MLPA kit of 12-15 genes or exons
