Reference values Modification

Test code: 2532

Effective update from 27/07/2018

NEW
        
      Not detected.
      * Fiability of the test: 99 %
     

        
   Not detected.

   Technique: DNA extraction and subsequent 
   amplification by real-time PCR, for
   detection of C282Y, H63D and S65C
   mutations related to hemochromatosis.

    Note: C282Y mutation is observed
    in homozygous state in 75-90% of patients
    diagnosed with hemochromatosis.

    C282Y / H63D genotype occurs in 5% of those
    patients, being advisable to carry out 
    periodic controls of the saturation 
    index of transferrin and ferritin. 

    Presence of H63D mutation in homozygous state
    leads to biochemical alterations, 
    but the clinical manifestations of the disease 
    are rare. 

    S65C variant does not influence on
    iron metabolism markers.
