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

Spinal 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, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

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:

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome – detection of the 3 most common mutations in the DHCR7 gene (p.Trp151Ter, p.Val326Leu and c.964-1G>C)

Screening of the 3 most common DHCR7 gene mutations: c.452G>A (p.Trp151Ter), c.976G>T (p.Val326Leu), c.964-1G>C (IVS8-1G>C) using Sanger sequencing, which represent about 81% of all mutations in patients with SLOS (Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, OMIM 270400).
