Cystic fibrosis · CFTR

From a single mutation to the whole gene

Choose the scope that matches the clinical question: a known mutation, a selected mutation panel, or analysis of the entire CFTR gene.

  3. 03
    Entire CFTR geneBroader genetic investigation under the selected protocol.
What you need to know

The exact coverage and types of genetic changes assessed are clarified before analysis. A negative result is interpreted in the context of test scope, family history and, where relevant, the partner’s findings.

Inherited predisposition

Thrombophilia

From 1 to 21 mutations

A choice of molecular tests, from one specified mutation to a 21-mutation panel. The appropriate package is selected according to the referral and personal or family history.

1 mutationPanels up to 21F5 · F2

Testing options

  1. 01
    Single mutationTargeted testing for a specified variant.
  2. 02
    Selected panelA combination of variants matching the referral.
  3. 03
    21-mutation panelThe broader option in this test range.
What you need to know

Selection may include variants such as Factor V Leiden and prothrombin. The mutation count describes the contents of the package; it does not mean that all variants have equal clinical significance. Your clinician determines which tests are appropriate and whether additional coagulation testing is needed.

Haemoglobinopathies

Alpha, beta & delta-beta globins

Molecular testing for thalassaemias

Genetic investigation of alpha-, beta- and delta-beta thalassaemia, with test selection guided by haematological findings and family history. Targeted testing for a known familial variant is also available.

Alpha · HBA1 / HBA2Beta · HBBDelta-beta thalassaemia
What you need to know

Testing is tailored to the suspected genetic cause and the type of change being investigated. Delta-beta thalassaemia affects production of both delta- and beta-globin and is assessed as a distinct genetic question. Findings are interpreted alongside haematological testing.

Targeted genetic investigation

Fragile X syndrome

FMR1 gene analysis

A dedicated molecular test for expansion of the CGG repeats in FMR1. It supports investigation of fragile X syndrome and carrier testing, according to the clinical indication.

FMR1CGG repeats
What you need to know

This is a targeted repeat-expansion investigation. Method selection and interpretation depend on the particular referral and family history. Findings are discussed in the context of genetic counselling.

Sexually transmitted infections

Targeted tests & molecular panels

Molecular investigation of sexually transmitted infections through targeted testing or a combination of assays. Selection is guided by history, symptoms and clinical indication.

ChlamydiaGonorrhoeaM. genitaliumTrichomonas
What you need to know

Example targets include Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma genitalium and Trichomonas vaginalis. HSV-1/2 testing is also available when indicated. The appropriate sample and panel targets are confirmed before collection. HPV is presented in a separate card.

HPV DNA test

HPV detection & genotyping

Molecular detection of human papillomavirus and genotyping, according to the selected assay. Your gynaecologist interprets the information alongside the other findings from your assessment.

HPV DNAGenotyping
What you need to know

A positive HPV test is not a cancer diagnosis. Your clinician determines appropriate follow-up based on the result, your age and previous screening history. The suitable sample type and HPV types covered are clarified before collection.

Prenatal screening · NIPT

NIFTY® Pro — Non-invasive prenatal testing

Prenatal screening using maternal blood

Risk assessment for selected chromosomal abnormalities through analysis of cell-free DNA in the pregnant woman’s blood.

Maternal bloodFrom 10 weeksTrisomies 21, 18, 13

This is a screening test; a high-risk result requires confirmation with diagnostic testing.
