Detection method: allelic discrimination
This in vitro diagnostic kit is intended for detection of mutations PI*S and PI*Z in the alpha 1 antitrypsin gene in human genomic DNA. Detection is based on real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using fluorescently labelled probes (allelic discrimination).
Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) is one of the serine protease inhibitors (SERPIN) which serves as an inhibitor of neutrofile elastase in lungs. The mutations in the A1AT gene lead to changes in
the protein structure and loss of function. Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is associated with lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The main risk factors for COPD are smoking, dusty work or repeated respiratory infections. A1AT deficiency can cause liver disease (hepatitis, cirrhosis) in both, neonates and adults. The most frequent mutations which cause a deficiency in alpha-1-antitrypsin are PI*S and PI*Z. Mutation PI*S is caused by substitution of E264V and makes a gradual reduction in protein levels. Mutation PI*Z is caused by substitution of E342K and makes a significant A1AT level reduction in blood serum.

Kit for isolation of DNA from body fluids The DNA extraction kit includes DNA purification step and enables achieving highly pure genomic DNA from samples of whole blood, serum, plasma, buccal swab and urine. Moreover, viral DNA can be efficiently isolated from these types of samples as well. High DNA yields, reproducible results and fast working method are guaranteed.
Why choose alternative dyes instead of "genuine" dyes? First, they are cheaper, and second, they can give the same results. Another reason is that the number of suppliers who can provide modified oligonucleotides is restricted - only a patent or a licence owner is usually allowed to produce them.
