LAMP Human Prothrombin mutation KIT
The LAMP Human Prothrombin mutation KIT is an in vitro diagnostic test intended for the qualitative detection of Factor II G20210A by Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) on EDTA whole blood and extracted DNA. This assay is dedicated to professional use in diagnostic laboratories. The device is not for self-testing.

General information
Advantages
Linked products
The LC-FII-LP kit uses loop mediated isothermal amplification, a robust amplification method using four to six primers per target, that can be directly used on lysed EDTA-whole blood samples, without DNA purification and on extracted DNA samples from whole blood samples.
The genotyping is performed by melting curve analysis after amplification, using a specific probe and quencher for each target polymorphism.
Test principle
Factor II (prothrombin) gene mutation is one of the primary genetic causes for inherited thrombophilia, a blood coagulation disorder that increases the risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Factor II mutation c.*97G>A (G20210A or 20210G>A) is located in the gene promotor region and is associated with elevated plasma levels of prothrombin, resulting in an increased risk of blood clot formation. The Allele Frequency of the mutated allele is around 2% in the Caucasian population.
