94209-4
LaboratoryNAGLU gene full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Sequencing
Definition
Full sequence analysis is performed to test for the presence of a mutation in all coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the NAGLU gene to confirm a diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB. Testing may also be performed on at-risk family members when there is a family history of mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB but a disease-causing mutation has not been previously identified.[GHR gene: NAGLU]
