BACKGROUND: Haptocorrin (HC) and holotranscobalamin (holoTC) carry vitamin B12 (B12) in the circulation and can be useful biomarkers for evaluating B12 status. The concentration of both proteins depends on age, but data on reference intervals for children and the elderly are sparse. Similarly, not much is known about the effect of preanalytical factors.
METHODS: HC plasma samples from healthy elderly > 65 years (n = 124) were analysed, and both HC and holoTC were analysed in paediatric serum samples ≤ 18 years (n = 400). Furthermore, we investigated assay precision and stability.
RESULTS: HC and holoTC were effected by age. We established reference intervals for HC: 2-10 years, 369-1237 pmol/L; 11-18 years, 314-1128 pmol/L; 65-82 years, 242-680 pmol/L and for holoTC: 2-10 years, 46-206 pmol/L; 11-18 years, 30-178 pmol/L. Analytical coefficients of variations of 6.0-6.8% and 7.9-15.7% were found for HC and holoTC, respectively. HC were affected when stored at room temperature and by freeze/thaw. HoloTC was stable at room temperature and after delayed centrifugation.
CONCLUSION: We present novel 95% age-related reference limits for HC and HoloTC in children, and for HC both in children and elderly. Moreover, we found HoloTC to be fairly stable when stored, whereas HC was more vulnerable to preanalytical factors.
