Test information
Test description
This test detects the p.N219Y and p.G717V variants in the MUT gene.
Condition description
Methylmalonic aciduria is a disease that prevents the body from processing certain proteins and fats. The age of onset is typically in early infancy, and variable symptoms include vomiting, dehydration, hypotonia, developmental delay, lethargy, hepatomegaly, failure to thrive, feeding problems, intellectual disability, chronic kidney disease, pancreatitis, coma, and early death. The incidence of methylmalonic aciduria is estimated to be ~ 1 in 50,000.
Test methods and limitations
Gene analysis for the various targeted mutations is performed by polymerase chain reaction and melting curve analysis to detect the mutant and wild-type forms of the gene. Sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes are labeled with fluorescent dyes, which hybridize to their complementary sequence target in PCR products. The fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from one fluorophore to another adjacent fluorophore is measurable and is directly proportional to the amount of target DNA generated during PCR. Allele-specific melting curves are generated by slow thermal denaturing of the probe: template hybrid. Melting curves are generated by monitoring fluorescence throughout denaturation, and melting peaks are generated by plotting the inverse derivative of fluorescence versus temperature (−dF/dT).
Detailed sample requirements
Dried Blood Spots (Preferred Sample)
| Collection Container(s) |
Dried blood spot card |
|---|---|
| Collection |
Follow kit instructions. Briefly, allow blood to saturate the card until indicated areas are filled and blood has soaked through the card. Air dry the card at ambient temperature for at least 3 hours.
|
| Sample Condition |
Follow the instructions provided with the collection set. Store the dried blood at ambient temperature for up to two days. If the specimen cannot be sent as soon as it is dry, the filter paper should be placed in a sealable plastic bag and stored in a refrigerator (≤ 8°C) or preferably in a freezer. |
| Shipping |
Follow kit instructions. Double bag and ship overnight at ambient temperature. |
