The C677T gene mutation encodes an protein variant exhibiting a decreased enzymatic activity. Homozygous carriers of the gene 677 T/T variant, and to less extend also compound heterozygous individuals with the allele combination C677T and A1298C, may exhibit elevated homocysteine plasma levels, resulting in a higher risk to develop vascular disease, thrombosis, and hypertension. This product is intended to help the clinician to analyze the genetic background showing increased homocysteine levels or a propensity to thrombosis. The present test can be performed in addition or after a phenotypical assay of homocysteine levels. C677T heterozygous patients should also be analyzed for the second prevalent MTHFR polymorphism A1298C, for example using the LightMix® Kit 40-0269. The kit is not intended to be the only basis for therapy decision. The patient´s mutation status should be considered alongside other disease factors. Note: The performance of the assay can be guaranteed only when used with LightCycler® Instruments (see 1.3.2 for details). en Using PCR methodology, a 288 bp fragment of the MTHFR gene is amplified with specific primers. The PCR fragment is analyzed using an internally labeled SimpleProbe® oligomer binding to the region spanning the mutation site.During the melting curve analysis the temperature is slowly increased. The probe leaves at a specific temperature (Tm) causing a fluorescence decrease. Any mismatch covered by the probe destabilizes the hybrid and lowers the Tm.In this product the probe matches the sequence of the wild type genotype and the presence of a mutation will yield a reduced Tm.Reading of the genotype results is based on the melting temperatures compared to the supplied standards. If permitted by the instrument software reading of the genotype results can be achieved by the automated genotyping module (instrument-dependent: software module 'Melt Curve Genotyping').Automated genotyping results must be reviewed by eye for deviating curves and intermediate melting point temperatures. In case that automated typing fails to report consistent genotype results, the genotype must be deduced from the melting temperatures following the criteria described in the method sheet, chapter 7. en
