Filter by name:

Determination of TPMT mutation status, allele *1, *2, *3A, *3B, *3C (mutations c.238G>C, c.460G>A and c.719A>G)

TPMT gene testing is performed by PCR and reverse hybridization strip assay to detect *1, *2, *3A, *3B, *3C alleles (c.238G>C, c.460G>A and c.719A>G mutations), which are responsible for the reduced activity of this enzyme catalyzing components of thiopurine drugs used in cancer therapy.

Determination of NUDT15 gene mutation status, allele *1, *2, *3, *4, *5 (mutation c. 415C>T, c. 416 G>A and c.52G>A)

NUDT15 gene testing by real-time PCR is performed to detect NUDT15*1, NUDT15*2, NUDT15*3, NUDT15*4, and NUDT15*5 alleles (c. 415C>T, c. 416G>A, and c.52G>A), which are involved in the metabolism of thiopurine drugs.

HLA DQA1*05 typing (immunogenicity)

HLA-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 blood

Turnover Time:

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:
