Bekhterev’s disease – HLA-B27 haplotype
The testing focuses on the detection of the HLA-B27 allele by real-time PCR in suspected ankylosing spondylitis (Bekhterev’s disease), reactive arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or anterior uveitis.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …Turnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
3 daysDetermination of TPMT mutation status, allele *1, *2, *3A, *3B, *3C (mutations c.238G>C, c.460G>A and c.719A>G)
TPMT gene testing is performed by PCR and reverse hybridization strip assay to detect *1, *2, *3A, *3B, *3C alleles (c.238G>C, c.460G>A and c.719A>G mutations), which are responsible for the reduced activity of this enzyme catalyzing components of thiopurine drugs used in cancer therapy.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …Turnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
3 daysDetermination of NUDT15 gene mutation status, allele *1, *2, *3, *4, *5 (mutation c. 415C>T, c. 416 G>A and c.52G>A)
NUDT15 gene testing by real-time PCR is performed to detect NUDT15*1, NUDT15*2, NUDT15*3, NUDT15*4, and NUDT15*5 alleles (c. 415C>T, c. 416G>A, and c.52G>A), which are involved in the metabolism of thiopurine drugs.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …Turnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
1 weekCystic fibrosis – 50 mutations + Tn variants of IVS8 in the CFTR gene
Testing for the 50 most common CFTR gene mutations and determination of polymorphism in intron 8 (IVS8 Tn/TGn). These 50 mutations represent over 92% of the findings in patients diagnosed with CF in the Czech population using fragmentation analysis.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …Turnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
3 daysSpinal muscular atrophy – determination of copy number of exon 7 and 8 in the SMN1 gene
Examination of SMN1 and SMN2 genes associated with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) by MLPA method. This concerns an autosomal recessive disease that is most often associated with homozygous deletion of exon 7 in the SMN1 gene (almost 95% of all patients with SMA).
Material:
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …Turnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
3 daysFragile X syndrome – detection of CGG repeat expansion in the FMR1 gene
The testing is performed to determine the presence and extent of CGG triplet expansion in the IT15 region of the FMR1 gene.
