gb PHARM TPMT

Detection method: allelic discrimination

This in vitro diagnostic kit is intended for detection of TPMT*2, TPMT*3A, TPMT*3B and TPMT*3C in TPMT gene in human genomic DNA by realtime PCR method (allelic discrimination). The kit allows the determination of haplotypes TPMT*2, TPMT*3A, TPMT*3B and TPMT*3C in homozygous or heterozygous form. The kit does not distinguish genotype *1/*3A (two mutations in cis form) from 3B*/*3C (the incidence of the composite heterozygote *3B/3C* is unlikely in Caucasians).

Clinical implications of the CE IVD kit

Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an essential enzyme for biodegradation of thiopurines. Antitumor drugs thioguanine and mercaptopurine, related to thiopurines, are used especially in hematooncology. Another thiopurine, azathioprine, is an immunosuppressive agent intended for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and prevention of transplant rejection.

The thiopurine drug side effects include neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, myelosuppression, mucositis and others. The biotransformation activity of the TPMT enzyme may be reduced due to the presence of the single nucleotide polymorphisms in the coding region of the TPMT gene. The most studied deficient alleles are TPMT*, TPMT*3A, TPMT*3B and TPMT*3C. Limited thiopurine biotransformation leads to the escalation of side effects of treatment. Upon detection of heterozygote it is recommended to reduce the dose of the drug to 30-70%, in the case of the homozygote and the composite heterozygote it is better to choose an alternative treatment.

    gb Ideal PCR Master Mix gb Ideal PCR Master Mix

    gb Ideal PCR Master Mix consists of hot-start Taq DNA polymerase, reaction buffer, dNTP and MgCl2. 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.
