Test Method

CF-EU2v1 is a cystic fibrosis testing kit designed specifically to address the most common mutations found in populations of European origin. The assay identifies 50 mutations in total and also analyses the intron 9 polyT tract with accurate measurement of the adjacent TG repeat. For CFTR sequencing, please refer to http://www.labnet.health.nz/test/.htm.
