Detection method: allelic discrimination

The CE IVD kit is used for determination of genotype of five polymorphisms: A (D70G, rs1799807), K (A539T, rs1803274), F1 (T243M, rs28933389), F2 (G390V, rs28933390), S1 (FS117, rs398124632) in human genomic DNA. The principle of detection is based on real-time PCR by fluorescently labelled probes (allelic discrimination).

Clinical implications of the CE IVD kit

Butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of the myorelaxans suxamethonium (succinylcholine) and mivacurium. Decreased activity of this enzyme results in higher plasma drug concentrations and prolonged muscle paralysis associated with the need for pulmonary ventilation. The most common genetic predispositions leading to pseudocholinesterase deficiency include the BCHE variants A, K, F and S1.

In patients diagnosed with genetic alterations in the BCHE gene, it is recommended to use alternative agents to myorelaxants suxamthonium and mivacurium, which have available antidotes, eliminating the risk to the patient and the financial cost of subsequent artificial pulmonary ventilation.

    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.
