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 gastroingb testinal 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.

Background Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. For instance, probiotics can be used in the treatment and prevention of infections and chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Due to their health attributes, probiotics generate considerable interest in the area of functional
