Haemochromatosis (4 SNP+) Direct EUROArray

The EUROArray Haemochromatosis (4 SNP+) Direct test system is exclusively designed for the molecular genetic determination of 4 point mutations (SNP) in the HFE (high-iron) gene. 

The test is used for the estimation of the genetic risk for haemochromatosis in patients with suspicious personal or family history (e.g. increased ferritin or transferrin levels), diabetes mellitus, cardiomyopathy, arthropathy, hepatomegaly/liver cirrhosis, susceptibility to infections, impotence, bronze skin pigmentation and chronic fatigue. The direct procedure is performed directly on whole blood samples and does not require a separate DNA isolation.
