Methodology
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
This test specifically utilizes Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). PCR is a molecular technique used to amplify specific target DNA sequences within the SRY gene. This amplification process creates millions of copies of the target region from a small amount of DNA, making it detectable. The amplified products are then typically analyzed by gel electrophoresis to confirm the presence or absence of the SRY gene. In some cases, if specific SRY gene mutations (point mutations or small deletions/insertions) within the amplified region are suspected, the PCR product might be subjected to Sanger sequencing for detailed analysis, although the primary screening for the presence of SRY is typically by size. The core method is the detection of specific SRY gene sequences.
Sample Required
Whole Blood (WB) in EDTA
* Typically, 2-5 mL of Whole Blood collected in an EDTA (lavender-top) vacutainer tube is required. EDTA is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting and optimally preserves the DNA within white blood cells.
* Proper collection and timely transport (preferably refrigerated) are crucial to ensure the integrity of the DNA sample for accurate analysis.
Preparation
Proper collection and handling of the blood sample are essential for accurate and reliable genetic testing. * No specific patient preparation is required (e.g., fasting or dietary restrictions). * Sam... Read more
