Testing for acquired chromosomal aberrations
Karyotyping to determine the level of chromosome damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Material:
Peripheral bloodTurnover Time:
2-8 weeksPredisposition to coeliac disease HLA-DQ2.5 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02), HLA-DQ2.2 (DQA1*02/DQB1*02), HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*03:02)
Testing for predisposition to coeliac disease by real-time PCR to detect DQ2.5, DQ2.2 and DQ8 haplotypes.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …Turnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
3 weeksBekhterev’s disease – HLA-B27 haplotype
The testing focuses on the detection of the HLA-B27 allele by real-time PCR in suspected ankylosing spondylitis (Bekhterev’s disease), reactive arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or anterior uveitis.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Buccal swab …Turnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
3 daysHLA-C (C1/C2) Genotyping
HLA-C typing at the allelic resolution level is used for the detailed determination of HLA-C gene variants. This gene plays a crucial role in the communication between the mother's immune system and the developing embryo during pregnancy. HLA-C analysis helps identify specific combinations of maternal and fetal genes that may be associated with a higher risk of complications such as recurrent miscarriages, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), or preterm birth. We recommend combining it with the KIR haplotype determination method.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from bloodTurnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
2 weeksKIR (Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor) haplotype evaluation
The KIR haplotype (A/B) determination method allows for the identification of the mother's genetic makeup in the region of KIR receptors. These receptors play a crucial role in the communication between the mother's immune system and the embryo during pregnancy, where they recognize HLA-C molecules on the embryo's surface. Analysis of the KIR haplotype can help reveal specific maternal genotypes that, in combination with the fetal HLA-C, may be associated with a higher risk of pregnancy complications.

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from bloodTurnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
2 weeksCystic 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.
