Join us during the ESHG 2020.2 Virtual Programme to learn about Asuragen’s growing family of AmplideX®️ testing kits which provide simple and streamlined solutions for the analysis of complex genomic targets. These products allow for single-day analysis of genes implicated in a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, including fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, Huntington’s disease, and cystic fibrosis.
Monday, June 8, 2020 – 12.00 – 13.00 hrs CEST

AmplideX® technology has revolutionized how challenging regions of the genome can be analyzed, delivering meaningful results in hours with minimal hands-on time. With the prototype PCR/CE CFTR Kit, this powerful technology has been designed to enable the multiplexed, allele-specific detection of SNPs, Indels, and repeats via the same simple, common workflow. In this presentation, learn how this streamlined assay and prototype software system broadly detects pathogenic CFTR mutations across a diverse population, providing broader coverage than any other commercially-available targeted kit — all in less than five hours..

Testing for spinal muscular atrophy spans both diagnostic and screening settings. Recent studies have demonstrated that SMN1 and SMN2 copy number information alone may not be sufficient to guide appropriate action for either testing scenario. In the diagnostic setting, reporting on the unique c.859G>C SMN2 disease modifier variant may help to refine disease prognosis. Additionally, identifying “silent carriers” is of increasing demand when screening for asymptomatic carriers. In this presentation, a genome diagnostic laboratory will share their experience in using the AmplideX® SMA Plus Kit (CE-IVD), which provides copy number, silent carrier, and disease modifier information all from a single reaction and in less than four hours.
