Product catalog summary
Overview: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a prevalent autosomal recessive disorder in the Caucasian population, with an incidence of 1 in 2,500 to 4,000 live births. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, affecting chloride transport across cell membranes, leading to respiratory and digestive issues.
CFTR Genotyping: Early diagnosis through CFTR genotyping is crucial for newborn screening, reducing parental stress. ViennaLab offers CF StripAssays® for detecting CFTR mutations, tailored to specific populations.
Assay Details: The CF StripAssays® detect various CFTR mutations and IVS8 variants (5T/7T/9T). Specific assays are available for general, Turkish, and German populations, detecting 34, 24, and 31 mutations respectively.
Key Mutations Detected: Common mutations include CFTRdel2,3 (21kb), G85E, 621+1G>T, F508del, G542X, and N1303K, among others. The assays cover a wide range of mutations relevant to different populations.
Procedure: The StripAssays® involve three steps:
  1. Amplification using multiplex PCR with biotin-labeling.
  2. Hybridization on test strips.
  3. Identification using streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase, detectable by eye or scanner.
The process is simple, does not require expensive equipment, and uses ready-to-use reagents.
Product Information: ViennaLab provides CE/IVD-labeled kits, including DNA extraction, for manual or automated processing. Each kit contains 10 tests.
Contact Information: ViennaLab Diagnostics GmbH, located in Vienna, Austria, offers further details and ordering information on their website.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) StripAssay®-1

CF StripAssays® Identify the most relevant CFTR mutations and variants for newborn screening and confirmatory genotyping Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-limiting autosomal recessive disorder in the Caucasian population. The disease incidence is estimated to be 1 in 2,500 to 4,000 live births. Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) represents an anion channel which is responsible for the salt-, fluid- and pH-balance in secretory and absorptive epithelial tissues. Mutations in the CFTR gene lead to dysfunction of chloride transport across cell membranes. Affected children commonly experience decreased pulmonary function along with persistent respiratory infections, pancreatic insufficiency and malnutrition. CFTR genotyping enables early diagnosis in newborn screening and minimizes emotional stress for parents. ViennaLab offers reliable and convenient reverse-hybridization assays tailored to population-specific mutations in different regions.
