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 bloodTurnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
3 daysSmith-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).
Material:
Chorionic villi, Amniotic fluid …Turnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
1 weekStereocilin gene fragmentation analysis
Targeted testing for STRC gene deletion by QF-PCR (Stereocilin gene) responsible for hearing impairment DFNB16.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …Turnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
3 daysDetection 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 …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.
