MTHFR II Polymorphism Kit: Advanced Genetic Analysis

The imegen® MTHFR II Polymorphism Kit is designed for the analysis of genetic variation in the MTHFR gene using real-time PCR technology. It enables the detection of the c.1298A>C variant and the corresponding wild-type allele in a single assay.

Background

The MTHFR gene, located on chromosome 1p36.22, encodes the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, which plays a role in folate metabolism and the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. The c.1298A>C polymorphism is associated with altered enzyme activity and is widely studied in molecular biology research.

Workflow and Application

The kit is optimized for efficient laboratory workflows and requires 50 ng of genomic DNA, typically extracted from peripheral blood. It utilizes sequence-specific oligonucleotides and fluorescent hydrolysis probes for sensitive and specific detection. A synthetic positive control is included to support assay performance and result interpretation.

The assay is compatible with standard real-time PCR platforms, allowing straightforward integration into existing laboratory procedures.

Conclusion

The imegen® MTHFR II Polymorphism Kit provides a reliable solution for the analysis of genetic variation in the MTHFR gene. Its robust design supports consistent and reproducible results in molecular biology applications.

Components

The kit contians the necessary reagents to perform 48 reactions. The reagents included in the kit are the following:

  • MTHFRII Master Mix: Specific oligonucleotides, labelled probes and water reagents for the
    PCR reactions.
  • General Master Mix: Conventional PCR enzyme containing 10-30% glycerol, <0.1 sodium
    azide and buffers.
  • Positive Control: Heterozygous positive control for the c.1298A>C (p. Glu433Ala) mutation
    in MTHFR gene.
