Haemochromatosis – H63D, S65C, C282Y mutation in the HFE gene

HFE gene testing by real-time PCR is performed to detect the most common p.C282Y, p.H63D and p.S65C mutations associated with hereditary haemochromatosis.

Hereditary Fructose Intolerance

The test uses a certified (CE-IVD) reverse hybridization strip method to examine the most common mutations—A149P, A174D, N334K, and the del4E4 deletion—in the ALDOB gene, which are responsible for fructose intolerance.

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood …
Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood, Buccal swab

Turnover Time:

Genetically-Caused Lactose Intolerance

The test examines two variants, c.-13910T/C (rs4988235) and c.-22018A/G (rs182549), in the regulatory region of the LCT gene, which codes for the lactase enzyme that is essential for digesting milk sugar (lactose). Adults with the CC/GG genotype often experience digestive problems with milk sugar—this is known as lactose intolerance.
