Bekhterev’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 …
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

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

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.

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.
