72881-6
LaboratoryUGT2B15 gene mutations found [Identifier] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method Nominal
Definition
A patient's genotype for the UGT2B15 gene is typically reported as *A/*B where A is the allele from one chromosome and B is the allele from the other chromosome. The genotype is determined by the analysis of specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the gene by various molecular techniques, including PCR and microarray. In some cases, SNP results are analyzed by bioinformatics computer software to determine a patient's overall genotype.
