The present study specifically amplified:
     
      LOW-risk types: HPV-6, 11, 42, 43, 44.
     
      HIGH-risk types: HPV-16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52,
      56, 58, 59, 68.
     
      MEDIUM-risk types: HPV-26, 53, 66, 70, 73, 82.
     
     
      
     

DNA extraction and amplification by Fluorescent Multiplex-PCR (MF-PCR) that amplifies specifically:

Low-risk types: HPV-6,11

High-risk types: 
HPV-16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,66 and 68   
         
Note: Recent epidemiological studies indicate that the E6/E7 mRNA may be a good candidate as a biomarker in the selection of HPV positive women with normal cytology, to be referred to colposcopy (J Clin Microbiol 2012 Jul; 50 (7): 2390 -6; PLoS One 2013; 8 (2)).
This test is available in the laboratory.

Chédiak-Higashi syndrome (LYST) sequencing, whole blood

New Test in NOÛS Catalog

Test Code: 5234

Sample:
Whole blood - EDTA (5 ml)
Conservation:
Refrigerated
Method:
Sequencing Method
Set Up Days:
Daily
Delivery term:
45 days
Information:
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare severe genetic disorder generally characterized by partial oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), severe immunodeficiency, mild bleeding, neurological dysfunction and lymphoproliferative disorder. A classic, early-onset form and an attenuated, later-onset form (Atypical CHS) have been described. Loss-of-function mutations in the LYST gene (1q42.1-q42.2) are associated with the severe, childhood-onset form of CHS. Missense mutations appear to underlie the atypical form. CHS follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Genetic counseling should be provided to asymptomatic carriers and to affected adults.

Smith-Magenis syndrome (region 17p11.2) MLPA, whole blood

New Test in NOÛS Catalog

Test Code: 5226

Sample:
Whole blood - EDTA (5 ml)
Conservation:
Refrigerated
Method:
Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification-MLPA
Set Up Days:
Daily
Delivery term:
25 days
Information:
Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a complex genetic disorder characterized by variable intellectual deficit, sleep disturbance, craniofacial and skeletal anomalies, psychiatric disorders, and speech and motor delay. SMS is typically a sporadic disorder caused either by a 17p11.2 deletion encompassing the retinoic acid-induced 1 (RAI1) gene (90%) or a mutation of the gene (10%).

1p36 microdeletion syndrome (1p36 region) MLPA, whole blood

New Test in NOÛS Catalog

Test Code: 5227

Sample:
Whole blood - EDTA (5 ml)
Conservation:
Refrigerated
Method:
Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification-MLPA
Set Up Days:
Daily
Delivery term:
25 days
Information:
1p36 deletion syndrome is a chromosomal anomaly characterized by distinctive facial dysmorphic features, hypotonia, developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures, heart defects, hearing impairment and prenatal onset growth deficiency. 1p36 deletion syndrome is caused by a partial heterozygous deletion of mostly the distal part of the short arm of chromosome 1, with breakpoints ranging from 1p36.13 to 1p36.33. About 50% of cases are due to a de novo terminal 1p36 deletion, around 29% to an interstitial deletion; remaining cases comprise more complex chromosome rearrangements.
