What does it mean to get your testing done at the MORL? Testing at MORL
Working to increase our knowledge base of non-syndromic hearing loss and complement-mediated renal disease, including the development of new treatment options for both hearing loss, aHUS and C3G. Research at MORL


Ordering Genetic Hearing Loss Testing	Ordering Genetic Renal Panel Testing	Ordering Complement Functional Testing
OtoSCOPE provides comprehensive genetic testing for all genes implicated in non-syndromic hearing loss and many types of syndromic hearing loss. An Usher Syndrome Panel is also available. 1/4/2021: OtoSCOPE v9 - same outstanding translational clinical medicine supported by visionary informatics and dedicated staff...now with more genes.	Genetic Renal Panel screens patients diagnosed with thrombotic microangiopathies and C3 glomerulopathy. The next-generation sequencing panel includes analysis of 12 genes for single nucleotide variants as well as MLPA, which identifies copy-number variations in the CFH-CFHR5 genomic region.	Comprehensive complement testing includes quantitating complement proteins and their cleavage products, measuring complement activity, and screening for autoantibodies.

Your results are discussed at a multidisciplinary meeting.
Your testing is performed in the Clinical Division of the MORL by scientists who lead the world in the human genetics of deafness and complement-mediated renal diseases.
Our testing is the most comprehensive clinical testing available.
