Detection method: allelic discrimination, real-time PCR

This in vitro diagnostic kit is intended for detection of mutation C677T in MTHFR gene 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

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is the main regulatory enzyme involved in homocysteine and folic acid (folates) metabolisms. This mutation leads to enzyme activity reduction, increase of homocysteine level in blood and methionine deficiency. However, lower catalytic activity of MTHFR enzyme means higher utilisation of 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate in DNA synthesis or repair.

The risk of venous thrombosis increases in combination with other risk factors (e.g. mutation in MTHFR gene – A1298C, mutation G20210A in factor II, Leiden mutation, long-time immobility, incorrect regimen, hormonal contraception) and grows with the number of mutated alleles in genotype.

    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.
