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.
 		 Genetic Renal Panel screens patients diagnosed with thrombotic microangiopathies and C3 glomerulopathy. The next-generation sequencing panel includes analysis of 13 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.
