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

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).
