“Molgen Genetics Haemostatic Disease (ITGA2/FVII) Kit” is an assay kit for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphism in ITGA2 and F7 genes of blood coagulation system usingreal-time PCR with detection of melting curves. Introduction “Molgen Genetics Haemostatic Disease (ITGA2/FVII) Kit” is intended for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphism C807T in ITGA2 gene (encodes integrin alpha-2) and G10976A in F7 gene (encodes coagulation factor VII) in clinical specimens (whole blood, buccal epithelium) using the method of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with melting curve analysis. The results of genotyping are taken into account in complex evaluation of thrombophilia risk (susceptibility to hereditary thrombophilia). The extraction of DNA from clinical specimens can be performed using “Molgen Universal Extraction Kit”. The kit is intended for use with block-type PCR cycler CFX96 (Bio-Rad, USA) such as Adaltis AmpliLab The kit contains reagents required for 48 tests, including control samples. Principle Of Method The principle of the method is based on the amplification of the selected human DNA region with subsequent formation of hybrid duplexes of PCR product with the specific DNA probe and the detection of duplexes melting curves. The amplification step consists of repeated cycles: temperature denaturation of the DNA template, primers annealing to specific sites of the DNA template, and primer extension with Taq polymerase. After the amplification step, the temperature is lowered and the specific fluorescent-labelled DNA probe hybridizes with the quencher-labelled amplicon resulting in the decrease of the fluorescent signal.
