Figure 3. Comparison of ARMS-PCR and qPCR assays.

Figure 3

Ten cases shown to be positive for the JAK2V617F mutation using ARMS-PCR exhibited an allele burden of 55% ±9% (mean ± SE) according to qPCR. Ten negative cases according to ARMS-PCR showed an allele burden of 1.9% ±0.6%, including two cases that were negative by ARMS-PCR and positive by qPCR with a value above our cutoff (>3.65%, estimated from a healthy population).
