TEMPORARILY DISCONTINUED TESTS LIGHT CHAINS KAPPA/LAMBDA, SERUM AND URINE

Test code: 2062, 2063
Mnemonic code: QCLS, QCLO

Effective update from 16/10/2024

Dear colleagues and collaborators,

We inform you that, due to manufacturing problems with one of the reagents, we are obliged to temporarily discontinue, as of today, the 2062 - LIGHT CHAINS KAPPA/LAMBDA, SERUM and 2063 - LIGHT CHAINS KAPPA/LAMBDA, URINE tests.

We are working to resolve the problem as soon as possible, but currently we do not have a reactivation date for these tests. On the other hand, we also do not have an estimated release date for pending results.

As for the samples already received, the corresponding protocols have been established to guarantee the stability of the samples and ensure the quality of the results.

Given the situation, we kindly ask you to avoid sending new samples until further notice and to extend this information to all your customers.

We will keep you informed of any new developments,

We remain at your disposal for any questions or queries,


Kind regards,

      The analytical sensitivity of the study is> 95%.
      Note: This study discards 90% of the most frequent mutations found in the Mediterranean area. This result does not exclude the presence of other mutations in the gene for beta-globin part of the analyzed. More or less, 10% of patients with clinical features of beta-thalassemia may carry other mutations that are not excluded in this study. When a negative result is observed or with the identification of a single mutation in HBB gene sequence, analysis of the entire coding region is recommended.

Interpretation

Mutations in the beta-globin gene (β-globin) are the genetic cause of beta-thalassemia, an autosomal recessive inherited hemoglobinopathy characterized by a lack of production or insufficient production of hemoglobin A (HbA, alpha-2/beta-2). Due to the reduced synthesis of beta-globin chains relative to alpha-globin chains, an imbalance occurs that disrupts erythropoiesis, resulting in a variable clinical picture depending on the number of affected alleles, making it a clinically heterogeneous disorder.

This report should be interpreted by a specialist within the clinical context and family history of the patient, along with other laboratory findings. Genetic counseling is recommended.

Methodology

DNA extraction followed by amplification using PCR and reverse hybridization (CE-IVD method) for the specific analysis of 22 point mutations in the β-globin gene (HBB, reference sequence NM_000518.5) related to beta-thalassemia.

Variants studied: c.-151C>T, c.-137C>G, c.-80T>A, c.17_18delCT, c.19G>A, c.20A>T, c.20delA, c.25_26delAA, c.27_28insG, c.48G>A, c.82G>T, c.92+1G>A, c.92+5G>C, c.92+6T>C, c.93-21G>A, c.93-15T>G, c.93-1G>C, c.118C>T, c.135delC, c.315+1G>A, c.316-106C>G, c.316-3C>A

Limitations

This study does not analyze other variants beyond those examined. Normal/polymorphic genomic variation in the patient’s sample may interfere with the detection of the variant.

Interpretation

Mutations or deletions in the alpha-globin genes (HBA1 and HBA2) are the genetic cause of alpha-thalassemia, an autosomal recessive inherited hemoglobinopathy characterized by a lack of production or insufficient production of alpha-globin chains, leading to a variable clinical picture depending on the number of affected alleles.

This report should be interpreted by a specialist within the clinical context and family history of the patient, along with other laboratory findings. Genetic counseling is recommended.

Methodology

DNA extraction followed by amplification using PCR and reverse hybridization (CE-IVD method) for the specific analysis of 21 deletions and point mutations in the alpha-1 (HBA1, reference sequence NM_000558.3) and alpha-2 (HBA2, reference sequence NM_000517.4) hemoglobin subunit genes related to alpha-thalassemia.

Variants studied: NG_000006.1: g.34164_37967del3804, -4.2 kb, g.15164_37864del22701, g.24664_41064del16401, g.26264_45564del19301, g.10664_44164del33501, g.11684_43534del31851, Triplication of anti-3.7 genes. HBA1: c.44G>A, c.179G>A. HBA2: c.2T>C, c.60delG, c.95+2_95+6delTGAGG, c.179G>A, c.377T>C, c.427T>C, c.427T>A, c.429A>T, c.428A>C, c.+94A>G, c.+92A>G.

Limitations

This study does not analyze other variants beyond those examined. Normal/polymorphic genomic variation in the patient’s sample may interfere with the detection of the variant. This test does not differentiate between heterozygous and homozygous mutations for the anti-3.7 gene triplication (anti-3.7/αα and anti-3.7/anti-3.7). In the presence of large gene deletions not detectable by the assay, single gene deletions (-3.7 or -4.2) and point mutations will appear as homozygous.
