Detection method: melting analysis

This in vitro diagnostic kit is intended for detection of polymorphism TA (allele 7TA) in gene UGT1A1 in human genomic DNA. Detection is based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with analysis of melting curves using fluorescently labelled probe.

Clinical implications of the CE IVD kit

The gb GENETIC Gilbert diagnostic kit is used to detect changes in the number of TA repetitions in the promoter of the UGT1A1 gene. This gene encodes the enzyme UDPglucuronosyltransferase, which is responsible for the conjugation phase of biotransformation of bilirubin.

The unmutated gene variant contains 6 TA repeats in the promoter, the mutated variant most frequently 7 TA repeats. Detection of this mutation is useful before starting treatment with medications whose limited biotransformation can result in development of toxic effects. Genotyping enables timely dose reduction or selection of alternative therapy.

    Dual-labeled hydrolysis probes Dual-labeled hydrolysis probes

    The technology of dual-labeled hydrolysis probes (also called TaqMan® real-time PCR probes) exploits the 5 ́-3 ́ exonuclease activity of Taq DNA polymerase to cleave the probe. TaqMan real-time PCR probes are labeled with a fluorescent dye (reporter) at the 5´ end and with a quencher at the 3´ end.
