Cascade testing for GJB2 gene mutation (for Connexin 26) – early non-syndromic AR deafness

Testing for GJB2 gene mutations (gap junction beta 2) responsible for hereditary autosomal recessive disease, early non-syndromic disorder/hearing loss and deafness, also referred to as DFNB1.

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, DNA isolated from cultured cells

KIR (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.

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

3 weeks

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.
