Test Code: 4178

Sample:	Whole blood - EDTA (5 ml)
Conservation:	Refrigerated
Method:	Sequencing Method
Set Up Days:	Daily
Plazo de Entrega:	42 days
Information:
WITHOT ASSOCIATE PHENOTYPE Calpain-1 catalytic subunit is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CAPN1 gene. The calpains, calcium-activated neutral proteases, are nonlysosomal, intracellular cysteine proteases. The mammalian calpains include ubiquitous, stomach-specific, and muscle-specific proteins. The ubiquitous enzymes consist of heterodimers with distinct large, catalytic subunits associated with a common small, regulatory subunit. This gene encodes the large subunit of the ubiquitous enzyme, calpain 1.

Set Up Days:	Daily
Plazo de Entrega:	42 days
Information:
Limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) constitutes a group of genetically determined, progressive muscle weakness disorders, in which the pelvic or shoulder girdle musculature is predominantly or primarily involved. The prevalence of autosomal recessive and sporadic LGMD cases has been estimated to 1/200,000. The age at onset is extremely variable. The rate of deterioration varies between families, intrafamilial variation is not very obvious. The disease has a much lesser severity than Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and can be very mild. Respiratory, but not cardiac complications have been described. Confinement to a wheelchair occurs at the earliest 11-18 years after the onset of symptoms. Serum creatine kinase (CK) activity is often more than 20 times elevated. LGMD2A is transmitted as an autosomal recessive form. Among theses cases, 33% are caused by mutation in the gene encoding the proteolytic enzyme calpain-3 (CAPN3) that is located on chromosome 15q15. No specific treatment is known and many patients receive physical therapy to prevent worsening of contractures.

MOLECULAR STUDY SLC6A3 (DAT1) GENE 3´UTR POLYMORPHISM WHOLE BLOOD

Sample:	Whole blood - EDTA (5 ml)
Conservation:	Refrigerated
Method:	Tri-Primer Polymerase Chain Reaction (TP-PCR)
Set Up Days:
Plazo de Entrega:	32 days
Information:
Differences in the dopamine and serotonin systems have been suggested as potential factors underlying interindividual variability in risk taking and in brain activation during the processing of feedback. The human dopamine transporter (DAT1) gene contains a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in its 3?-untranslated region (UTR). The 9-repeat allele of the dopamine transporter (DAT) gene has been associated with increased striatal dopamine levels, and has been found to be related to increased sensitivity to reward. It is studied in relation with it´s possible implication with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, risk taking behaviors, and various others neuropsychiatric disorders.
