Gaucher Disease StripAssay®

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the Gaucher Disease StripAssay® by ViennaLab, a diagnostic tool designed to identify mutations in the GBA gene responsible for Gaucher Disease, a common lysosomal storage disorder.
Specifications: The assay detects 8 common mutations and 2 recombinant alleles in the GBA gene. It utilizes reverse-hybridization of biotinylated PCR products and combines probes for variants and controls on a test strip. Results are visible to the naked eye through an enzymatic color reaction.
Procedure: The assay involves three main steps:
  1. Amplification using a thermocycler for multiplex PCR and biotin-labeling.
  2. Hybridization directly on the StripAssay® test strips using an incubator.
  3. Identification of labeled products either by naked eye or using a streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase scanner and software.
Requirements: The process requires minimal equipment: an incubator, thermocycler, and shaker. Software for result interpretation is optional.
Benefits: The assay is described as easy, reliable, versatile, and affordable, with a simple three-step process that takes approximately 6 hours to complete. It is suitable for both automated and manual processing.
Manufacturer Information: ViennaLab Diagnostics GmbH, located in Vienna, Austria, is the manufacturer. Contact details and further information are available on their website.

Gaucher Disease StripAssay®-1

i=rvjrsj/\/\3 ESTABLISHED INNOVATIONS IN DIAGNOSTICS Gaucher Disease StripAssayThe easy way to test for Gaucher Disease using established innovations in diagnostics Gaucher Disease Assay. Key to efficient therapy. Gaucher Disease is the most common inherited lysosomal storage disorder. The disease is caused by glucocerebrosidase deficiency due to mutations in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene. Impaired enzyme activity results in a heterogeneous range of clinical manifestations, including enlarged spleen and liver, anemia, thrombocytopenia, bone lesions, bone marrow suppression, hyperpigmentation and neurologic complications. Enzyme replacement therapy may offer clinical amelioration and an improved quality of life. Glucocerebrosidase deficiency leads to accumulation of glycolipids within the reticulo-endothelial system. The resulting condition, Gaucher Disease, is recessively inherited and caused by mutations in the GBA gene. Most of these are point mutations, but some common ones are due to genetic rearrangement between the GBA gene and the highly homologous pseudogene. ViennaLab's Gaucher Disease StripAssay® offers an easy way to identify the most frequent mutations and recombinant alleles in the GBA gene.
