Detection method: allelic discrimination

This in vitro diagnostic kit is intended for detection of mutations C282Y, H63D and S65C in the gene HFE in human genomic DNA. Detection is based on real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using fluorescently labelled probes (allelic discrimination).

Clinical implications of the CE IVD kit

Hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC) is a hereditary metabolic disorder caused by HFE gene mutation with an autosomal recessive type of inheritance and incomplete penetration (which means it does not have to always be shown in a phenotype). It is one of the most common hereditary disorders with an indicated prevalence of the majority C282Y mutation in a homozygous condition in 1:300–400 in the Caucasian population.

HFE protein is bound to beta-2-microglobulin and this complex blocks the transferin receptor in the cells of the duodenum. There is no receptor blockade in the complex consisting of the mutated form of the protein which results in permanent increased iron absorption from the gastrointestinal tract into the blood stream and its accumulation in parenchymatous tissues and organs, especially in liver, pancreas, heart, gonads and in the skin. These organs can then be irreversibly damaged.

    gb Easy PCR Master Mix gb Easy PCR Master Mix

    gb Easy PCR Master Mix consists of hot-start Taq DNA polymerase, reaction buffer, dNTP and MgCl2. The Taq polymerase is chemically modified DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus. This polymerase is completely inactive at room temperature but it is rapidly activated during the initial denaturation step of PCR. The product falls into a group of TaqMan Real-Time PCR Master Mixes to provide probe-based qPCR.
