Karyotyping in gamete donation candidate

It is used to determine karyotype by classical cytogenetic methods to determine numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations (deviations) of the gamete donor.

Material:

Peripheral blood

Turnover Time:

8 weeks

STATIM

4 weeks

Fragile 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.

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

Cystic 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, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

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:

3 weeks

STATIM

3 days

Paternity/relatedness test

Determination of paternity or relatedness by analysis of 16 STR markers.

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:

Expert paternity test by court order

Expert paternity test by court order. The material is collected in the presence of a forensic expert and the results are provided with an expert opinion. The results of this test are intended for use in legal proceedings.

Material:

Peripheral blood, Buccal swab
