  • Publication number: 20240263247
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method including one or more of amplifying a nucleic acid sequence of interest in a sample comprising genomic DNA of a subject; amplifying a reference nucleic acid sequence in the sample; quantifying the amplified sequence of interest relative to the amplified reference sequence; and determining a copy number of the sequence of interest from the relative quantified amplified sequence of interest. The reference sequence can have at least 80% sequence identity to at least one of SEQ ID NO:1-38. Also disclosed are kits, systems and compositions that can include a first probe which specifically hybridizes to at least a portion of at least one reference sequence.
