Sjogren's Panel with Rheumatoid Factor and ANA, IFA with Reflex
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$518
|
|
|
Description:
This panel can be helpful in the diagnosis of Sjogren syndrome by simultaneously testing for antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) with an immunofluorescence assay (IFA), performed on human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells, as well as SSA antibodies, SSB antibodies, and rheumatoid factor (RF). For specimens with positive ANA IFA results, reflex testing for ANA titer and pattern is performed.The laboratory evaluation for individuals with clinical suspicion of autoimmune diseases often begins with an ANA screen. The classic ANA IFA on HEp-2 cells is considered by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) as the current gold standard because of its overall high sensitivity for several autoimmune diseases [1]. Knowing the ANA titer and pattern can be helpful in interpreting positive ANA results [2]. Individuals with negative results on the ANA IFA usually also have negative results on specific autoantibodies. However, SSA antibody may be detected in some ANA IFA-negative patients with lupus or Sjogren syndrome [3].The 2012 ACR classification criteria for Sjogren syndrome indicate that testing for SSA or SSB antibody has the highest sensitivity and specificity, and that a positive RF result in addition to an ANA titer โฅ1:320 is consistent with Sjogren syndrome [4]. However, the 2016 ACR/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria for Sjogren syndrome do not include SSB/La, RF, and ANA titer, because studies showed that these markers do not add sufficient value to SSA/Ro testing [5].The results of this test should be interpreted in the context of pertinent clinical and family history and physical examination findings.References1.

Description:
Antibodies toย Sm are highly specific for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and when present are considered a marker antibody. However, theseย antibodies are found in only 20% of patients with SLE. RNPย antibodies (also known as anti-u1 or ribonucleoprotein antibodies) are found in 45% ofย SLE patients but are also observed in numerous other disease states such as Sjรถgren's syndrome, scleroderma and polymyositis. Elevated levels ofย antibodies to RNP are seen in mixed connective tissue disease. In SLE, RNP antibodies have been associated with a relatively benign disease course with lower incidence of renal and central nervous system involvement. Patients may be considered positive for RNP antibodies whenย the RNP antibody result is significantly higher than theย Sm antibody result.

|
Description:
This test measures sodium in liquid stool. Measurements of electrolytes and osmotic gap in liquid stool help differentiate between secretory and osmotic diarrhea and, thus, guide further evaluation of chronic diarrhea [1,2].Diarrhea can be categorized as secretory or osmotic depending on how the water content of stool is drawn in the intestine lumen. Secretory diarrhea is caused by defective electrolyte absorption that increases the stool's electrolyte levels. Conditions associated with secretory diarrhea include infection, neuroendocrine tumors, congenital chloridorrhea, intestinal resection, and diffuse mucosal disease [1]. Osmotic diarrhea is caused by the osmotic effect of a substance that retains water in the intestine lumen and leads to decreased electrolyte levels in the stool. Conditions associated with osmotic diarrhea include ingesting poorly absorbed solutes (eg, sorbitol, mannitol, and laxatives containing magnesium) and enzyme dysfunction (eg, lactose intolerance) [2].Stool sodium level is often measured in conjunction with stool potassium level to calculate osmotic gap, which is the difference between the stool osmolality and twice the sum of the stool sodium and potassium levels. Osmotic gap is useful in assessing the contribution of stool electrolytes to osmolality and differentiating between secretory and osmotic diarrhea [1,2].The results of this test should be interpreted in the context of pertinent clinical and family history and physical examination findings.References1.

This comprehensive panel offers the opportunity for a broader scope of genomic information compared to single gene tests or smaller panels. For example, it may be useful for patients with limited or ill-defined treatment options and for those considering clinical trials. This panel uses next-generation sequencing to detect mutations present in DNA and RNA extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections of solid tumors. The test is designed to detect single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions/deletions, as well as whole-gene copy number alterations, translocations, and splice site variants in a select group of genes. Microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutation burden (TMB) are also evaluated.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Carrier Screen
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$908
|
|
|
Description:
Carrier screening for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). SMA is one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases, characterized by the degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord which leads to symmetric proximal muscle weakness. The survival motor neuron (SMN1) gene has been shown to be responsible for 99% of SMA cases. An adjacent homologous gene, SMN2, encodes a protein identical to that of SMN1. SMA is caused by a critical reduction in the total amount of functional SMN protein. Although a diagnosis of SMA depends upon SMN1 gene copy number, a less severe SMA phenotype may be associated with an increased number of functional SMN2 gene copies. This test is appropriate to determine the SMN1 copy number and to refine the risk that the patient is a silent carrier (also known as 2+0 carrier) by determining the presence or absence of the g.27134T>G variant when SMN1 copy number is equal to two. This test will also assess the SMN2 copy number when SMN1 copy number is equal to zero or one, or when it is equal to two in the presence of the g.27134T>G variant.

Description:
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Fetus assesses fetal SMN1 and SMN2 copy number. This test will determine whether a fetus is affected by SMA, caused by deletions of at least exon 7 of the SMN1 gene. It does not determine the presence or absence of a sequence variant in the SMN1 gene. In addition, it does not assess risk for 2+0 carrier status. SMA is the second most common lethal autosomal recessive disease and is a family of disorders that is characterized by progressive muscle weakness due to loss of anterior horn cells. A loss of at least exon 7 in the SMN1 gene, located on chromosome 5q, causes 95% of SMA. SMN2 genes produce a protein identical to that of SMN1 gene, but in a reduced (10-20%) amount. As a result, the number of copies of SMN2 has been shown to influence the severity of the disease.
