Cystic Fibrosis Panel I Control is intended for in vitro use as a control product to monitor the analytical performance of the extraction, amplification and detection of test systems used in the qualitative measurement of the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene. This product is an external quality control to be extracted and analyzed routinely with each cystic fibrosis (CF) test run.

The Cystic Fibrosis Panel I Control is designed to monitor the presence of 38 CFTR mutations, genetic risk factors associated with cystic fibrosis (CF). The CF Panel I mutations include the 25 mutations recommended for testing by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). CF is a fatal recessive hereditary disease characterized by thickened secretions that clog bronchi and pancreatic ducts. CF Panel I also monitors the presence of 3 polymorphisms that may confound interpretation of some CF test results, and the status of the 5/7/9T alleles. 5T is a genetic risk factor associated with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBVD) and CF.

Each bottle of Cystic Fibrosis Panel I contains two synthetic alleles of CFTR DNA suspended in a patented, non-infectious, blood-like matrix. The DNA should be extracted before analysis. Each allele contains all 24 CFTR exons and their intronic borders linked together. The alleles carry varying configurations of mutant and wild type (normal) sequences. All CFTR alleles have been quality scored sequenced in entirety.

Cystic Fibrosis Panel I consists of three or four bottles, depending on the CF assay used. Each bottle contains a different combination of CFTR mutations, polymorphisms and wild type sequence. Please contact MMQCI to determine the best version for your laboratory.

Since the controls are designed as a two allele system, analysis of the controls will provide the laboratory with experience in interpretation of patient results when certain neighboring mutations cause assay interferences, thus preventing potential reporting errors.

 INTROL™ CF Panel I is provided for in vitro diagnostic use.
