Additional evaluation of selected gene from CarrierTest panel for matching

Additional testing for hidden carriage of key mutations in selected recessive genes that may affect the health status of carriers and their offspring. The matching uses the evaluation of data from the already performed CarrierTest NGS testing intended for donors. When to use this test: We use it to match the donor with the partner who carries the mutation in the selected gene to determine the suitability of using this donor and eliminate any reproductive risk.

Material:

Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

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.

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

3 weeks

STATIM

3 days

Spinal muscular atrophy – determination of copy number of exon 7 and 8 in the SMN1 gene

Examination of SMN1 and SMN2 genes associated with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) by MLPA method. This concerns an autosomal recessive disease that is most often associated with homozygous deletion of exon 7 in the SMN1 gene (almost 95% of all patients with SMA).

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

3 weeks

AR deafness – detection of 35delG GJB2 mutation

Testing for 35delG mutation in the GJB2 gene responsible for AR hereditary, non-syndromic disorder/hearing loss (deafness).

Material:

Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from blood

Turnover Time:

3 weeks

STATIM

3 days

PGT preparation, partner

DNA testing of the patient’s partner by karyomapping (SNP array) to determine the parental origin of chromosome segments in the examined embryos and to possibly detect various types of genetic disorders, including monogenic ones.

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

Turnover Time:

4 weeks

STATIM

2 weeks

PGT preparation, relatives

DNA testing of the patient’s relatives by karyomapping (SNP array) to determine the parental origin of chromosome segments in the examined embryos and to possibly detect various types of genetic disorders, including monogenic ones.
