Test Overview
Test Methodology

The coding exons and flanking consensus splice sites of the IDUA gene are amplified using specific primers, and bidirectionally sequenced using a fluorescent method.

Test Usage

Analysis for the presence of IDUA (OMIM:252800) variants in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I).

Reference Range *

Interpretive report provided.

* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.

Test Limitations

This assay will not detect large deletions in the IDUA gene or intronic mutations outside the region sequenced in the IDUA gene.
