CF Panel 1         Thrombotic Risk

MTHFR mutations C677T and A1298C are associated with thrombosis, cancers, leukemias, neural tube defects, high homocystine levels, cardiovascular disease, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s and toxicity of anti-folate drugs like methotrexate. Our MTHFR Genotype Control is an external quality control used to monitor the analytical performance of the extraction, amplification and detection of test systems used in the qualitative measurement of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene for mutations C677T and A1298C.

Each bottle of MTHFR Genotype Control contains two synthetic alleles of MTHFR DNA suspended in a non-infectious, blood-like matrix. Each allele contains a segment of the MTHFR gene. One allele carries mutations C677T and A1298C and the other allele carries only wild type DNA. Both alleles have been quality scored sequenced in entirety.

Analysis of MTHFR Genotype Control provides the laboratory with valuable experience by demonstrating test results of rare genotypes.

The two alleles have been carefully mixed to produce three bottles containing three different genotypes: homozygous wild type (WT/WT), heterozygous (C677T/ WT and A1298C/ WT), and homozygous mutant (C677T/ C677T and A1298C/ A1298C).
