Abstract

The health impact of many copy number variants in our genome remains still largely to be discovered. Detecting and genotyping this often complex variation presents a technical challenge. Here we describe a 96-well format droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) protocol for genotyping a common copy variant in the human haptoglobin gene. ddPCR allows for high-throughput and accurate quantitation of gene copy numbers.

Keywords: CNV; Copy number variation; Droplet digital PCR; Genotyping; HP; Haptoglobin; ddPCR.
