94214-4
LaboratoryPRKAR1A gene deletion+duplication and full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Definition
Full gene sequence analysis is performed to detect the presence of a mutation in all coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the PRKAR1A gene. In addition, deletion/duplication analysis, such as by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) or quantitative PCR (qPCR), is used to test for the presence of large deletions or duplications. This test is used to aid in the diagnosis of Carney complex (CNC) and suspected acrodysostosis-1 with hormone resistance.[GHR gene: PRKAR1A]
