This test is intended for determining over immunosuppression within the CD8 T-cell compartment, when used on transplant recipients and patients with autoimmune disorders receiving therapy with immunosuppressant agents.

HCVDR | Hepatitis C Virus Genotypic Antiviral Drug Resistance, Serum

This test is intended for the detection and identification of codon substitutions in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3, NS5A, and NS5B genomic regions that confer resistance to current direct-acting antiviral (DAA) drugs used for treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection due to HCV genotype 1a, 1b, or 3 (any subtype).

HFET | Hereditary Hemochromatosis, HFE Variant Analysis, Varies

This test is useful for confirming the clinical diagnosis of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) in adults.

HMEP | Hemiplegic Migraine With or Without Epilepsy Gene Panel, Varies

This test is useful for establishing a molecular diagnosis in individuals with hemiplegic migraine.

LPSC1 | Lipid Panel, Serum

This test is useful for managing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk using serum specimens.

MCP2Z | MECP2 Gene, Full Gene Analysis, Varies

This test is useful for establishing a molecular diagnosis in individuals with features of Rett syndrome and MECP2-related disorders. In addition, identifying pathogenic variants within the MECP2 gene known to be associated with Rett syndrome and MECP2-related disorders, allowing for predictive testing of at-risk family members.

MSCG | Collagenofibrotic Glomerulopathy Confirmation, Mass Spectrometry

This test is useful for aiding in the diagnosis of collagenofibrotic glomerulopathy.

MSFNG | Fibronectin Glomerulopathy Confirmation, Mass Spectrometry

This test is useful for aiding in the diagnosis of fibronectin glomerulopathy.

NTC3Z | NOTCH3 Gene, Full Gene Analysis, Varies

This test is useful for establishing a molecular diagnosis in individuals with features of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) and NOTCH3-related disorders.

PBNP1 | NT-Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide, Serum

This test aids in the diagnosis of congestive heart failure using serum specimens.

PIK3B | Cell-Free DNA PIK3CA Test, Blood

This test is useful for the identification of hormone receptor positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer tumors that may be eligible for treatment with targeted kinase inhibitor therapy (eg, alpelisib).

PIK3T | PIK3CA Mutation Analysis, Tumor

This test is useful for the identification of hormone receptor positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer tumors that may be eligible for treatment with targeted kinase inhibitor therapy (eg, alpelisib).

RPRT3 | Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) with Reflex to Treponema pallidum Particle Agglutination, Serum

This test is useful for the diagnosis of syphilis.

SORBU | Sorbitol and Mannitol, Quantitative, Random, Urine

This test is useful for monitoring effectiveness of treatment in patients with phosphomannomutase 2 deficiency (PMM2-CDG) and establishing a baseline level prior to initiating treatment for PMM2-CDG.

SRAU | Serotonin Release Assay, Unfractionated Heparin, Mass Spectrometry, Serum

This test is useful for detecting heparin-dependent platelet activating antibodies implicated in the pathogenesis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

TCRB | T-Cell Receptor V-Beta Repertoire Analysis, Spectratyping, Blood

This test is useful for assessment of T-cell receptor diversity in various clinical contexts including inborn errors of immunity (formerly primary immunodeficiencies), monitoring immune reconstitution post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and temporal assessment of repertoire changes in autoimmune diseases and viral infections.

TRECS | T-Cell Receptor Excision Circles Analysis, Blood

This test is useful for measuring T-cell output or reconstitution (thymopoiesis) following hematopoietic cell transplantation or highly active antiretroviral therapy. The test is also useful for evaluating thymic function in patients with cellular or combined inborn errors of immunity (formerly primary immunodeficiencies), or receiving immunotherapy or cancer vaccines.
