93420-8
LaboratoryAPOA1 gene full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Sequencing
Definition
The test includes sequence analysis of variants in all coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the Apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) gene. Testing is performed for the diagnosis of individuals suspected of having APOA1 gene-associated familial amyloidosis. The overall result summary (positive/negative) along with information about variant(s) identified, interpretation, testing method(s) and recommendations are typically included in the report.
