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

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

Turnover Time:
