Figure 1 Workflow of TREC ddPCR analysis. Isolated genomic DNA from DBSs is added to a PCR and partitioned into droplets by the AutoDG. After end-point amplification, droplets are singularized by the QX200 reader, and fluorescence is measured as FAM and HEX signal amplitudes. Pink lines indicate FAM and HEX signal amplitude thresholds applied to the analysis for designating positive or negative droplets.

Figure 2 The clustering of droplets in the ddPCR analysis shown as a heat map. Larger numbers of droplets are represented in red. Droplet cloud thresholds are shown as pink lines. A: Negative droplets (NEG; absent TREC or RPP30 PCR products) are shown; blue represents positive droplets containing TREC PCR product, RPP30 PCR product, or double-positive droplets with both TREC and RPP30 PCR products. B: Lack of TREC-positive droplets is seen for an SCID-positive infant. C: Lack of TREC- or RPP30-positive droplets is seen for a sample without template DNA. D: The level of ddPCR carryover observed for a blank paper specimen run after a DBS with our NBS process. Pink lines indicate FAM and HEX signal amplitude thresholds applied to the analysis for designating positive or negative droplets.

Figure 3 Distribution of population-based reference ranges and affected cases. A and B: Dot plots show the range of TREC (A) and RPP30 (B) levels in the normal reference range study and for low TREC patients. Data plotted as log10. Dashed lines represent the TREC and RPP30 assay thresholds. C and D: Histograms illustrating the distribution of TREC and RPP30 copies in full-term infants observed during the population-based study.
