Purpose:

A significant increase in circulating cell-free donor-derived DNA can be detected up to

five months before acute rejection can be diagnosed an invasive biopsy. To determine

donor-derived DNA, the genotyping procedure is essential. Laboratory of Applied

Precision Omics on the potential uses of cell free DNA technology requires the use of

QIAGEN’s high throughput automation process on the QiaSymphony SP, 34311 with the

DSP Circulating DNA kit to isolate nucleic acids

Scope of Work:

Next generation sequencing of cell-free DNA, genomic DNA, and mitochondrial DNA are among the nucleic acids of interest which are required for answering the primary and secondary endpoints of the Genome Transplant Dynamics study. Numerous intramural investigators have contacted the Laboratory of Transplantation Genomics regarding a mutual interest in investigating questions surrounding detection, diagnosis, and clinical utility of solid and liquid organ transplant rejection alike.

The laboratory of applied precision omics requires the purchase of Qiagen’s QIAsymphony DSP Circulation DNA Kit for processing patient samples by epMotion 5075 to automate the process of NGS library construction for 5 extramural-site research protocol which targets heart and lung transplant recipients. To determine cell-free DNA to risk stratify patients for severe COVID-19 and donor-derived DNA, the genotyping procedure and qualification of DNA is essential for high throughput automation of NGS library, and sensitive for cell free DNA.
