Predictive testing – a partner carries the gene mutation from CarrierTest (including compatibility of the couple)

CarrierTest is a panel NGS test of selected regions using data from exome libraries.

When to use this test: The partner is already a known carrier of the gene mutation detected in our laboratory by CarrierTest. Therefore, the patient is indicated to be tested for all mutations of the gene, which will also be performed by CarrierTest and the compatibility of both partners determined.

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

6 weeks

STATIM

3 weeks

Predictive testing of known familial gene mutation from CarrierTest

Testing for carriage of familial pathogenic mutations detected during testing in the CarrierTest panel NGS test.

Material:

Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab, Isolated DNA from blood, Isolated DNA from chorionic villi, Isolated DNA from amniotic fluid, Isolated DNA from cordocentesis, DNA isolated from the product of conception, Cultured cells

Turnover Time:

3 weeks

STATIM

1 week

Predictive testing – a partner carries the gene mutation from CarrierTest but not tested in GNTlabs

CarrierTest is a panel NGS test of selected regions using data from exome libraries.

When to use this test: The partner is already a known carrier of a mutation in the gene that is included in the CarrierTest, so the patient is indicated to be tested for all mutations in the gene, which will also be performed by CarrierTest, but the partner has not been tested in our laboratory and compatibility will not be tested.

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

6 weeks

STATIM

3 weeks

Addition of compatibility testing to the partner’s CarrierTest

When to use this test: We have already performed CarrierTest in the patient, the partner either underwent it too or is now indicated for this test, but they have not yet been tested for their mutual compatibility, which is now required.

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

6 weeks

STATIM

3 weeks

Additional evaluation of selected gene from CarrierTest panel for matching

Additional testing for hidden carriage of key mutations in selected recessive genes that may affect the health status of carriers and their offspring. The matching uses the evaluation of data from the already performed CarrierTest NGS testing intended for donors. When to use this test: We use it to match the donor with the partner who carries the mutation in the selected gene to determine the suitability of using this donor and eliminate any reproductive risk.

Material:

Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

2 days

AR deafness – detection of 35delG GJB2 mutation

Testing for 35delG mutation in the GJB2 gene responsible for AR hereditary, non-syndromic disorder/hearing loss (deafness).

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

3 weeks

STATIM
