Detection of deletions in genes associated with hearing impairment

Testing for STRC, OTOA, CATSPER2 gene duplication/deletion by Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA), responsible for hearing impairment: DFNB16, DFNB22.

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, DNA isolated from cultured cells

Turnover Time:

3 weeks

STATIM

3 days

Determination 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.

Determination 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:

STATIM

1 week

Non-invasive paternity test (upon agreement) from week 11 of the pregnancy

A non-invasive paternity test is performed upon agreement with the laboratory from week 11 of the pregnancy. The test is carried out from the blood of the mother, which contains the free DNA of the foetus, and the blood of the putative father. The test can only be carried out in singleton pregnancies (it is not possible to test the paternity of twins).

Material:

Peripheral blood, Peripheral blood

DNA sperm fragmentation test (Halosperm)

Determination of the percentage of sperm with fragmented DNA using the Halosperm kit.

Material:

Ejaculate

Turnover Time:

1 day

DNA isolation and banking

DNA isolation and its storage in the laboratory (banking).

Material:

Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab, Amniotic fluid, Cord blood, Conception product, Cultured cells, Solid tumour, Ejaculate, Isolated DNA from chorionic villi

Turnover Time:

48 hours
