SEQPRO LIPO IS

Genetic Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia

ROUTINE GENETIC DIAGNOSIS OF FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA

Seqpro lipoSEQPRO LIPO IS CE Mark is Progenika’ solution for Familial Hypercholesterolemia genetic diagnosis for Next Generation Sequencing ILLUMINA® MiSeq equipment.

Autosomal Dominant Hypercholesterolemia  (ADH) is caused by mutations in LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, APOE and STAP1 genes, while Autosomal Recessive

Familial Hypercholesterolemia (ARH) is caused by mutations in the LDLRAP1 gene.  Progenika’s new SEQPRO LIPO IS for ILLUMINA detects them all for an accurate diagnosis.

SEQPRO LIPO IS for ILLUMINA® MiSeq features

  • Simultaneous detection of all possible FH mutations.
  • 6 FH related genes analyzed: LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, APOE, STAP1 (ADH) and LDLRAP1 (ARH).
  • Simplicity & latest Technology: analysis  of DNA from Blood or saliva samples.
  • This new product complements Progenika’s portfolio for FH, including our Lab Services: CLIA & CAP Accredited Laboratory at Progenika Inc. in San Marcos, TX (USA), and Clinical Diagnosis Laboratory at Progenika’ Headquarters in Derio (SPAIN). 

Benefits of FH Genetic Diagnosis

  • Product kitHigh specificity, sensibility and accuracy for a disease widely under-diagnosed.¹
  • Familial Diagnosis of the disease in patients’ relatives – cascade screening.²
  • Early Diagnosis at any age (children), even before clinical symptoms have been developed.³
  • Personalized treatment after prognosis of the severity of the FH derived atherosclerosis.â?´
  • Better treatment compliance.â?µ
  • Cost-effectiveness.â?¶
