CMT Advanced Evaluation - Dominant
Test Code901154
CPT Codes
81448
Includes
DNM2 DNA Sequencing Test, EGR2 DNA Sequencing Test, GARS (CMT2D) DNA Sequencing Test, HSPB1 (CMT2F) DNA Sequencing Test, HSPB8 DNA Sequencing Test, LITAF/SIMPLE DNA Sequencing Test, MFN2 DNA Sequencing Test, Myelin Protein Zero (MPZ) DNA Sequencing Test, Neurofilament Light (NFL) DNA Sequencing Test, PMP22 DNA Sequencing Test, PMP22 Duplication/Deletion DNA Test, RAB7 (CMT2B) DNA Sequencing test, TRPV4 DNA Sequencing Test, YARS DNA Sequencing Test
Note: Test will be performed in a reflexive manner. PMP22 Duplication/deletion testing will be performed first via MLPA and all non-positives will reflex to Next Generation Sequencing of all remaining genes and MLPA analysis of GJB1 (Cx32).

Preferred Specimen
8 mL whole blood collected in two EDTA (lavender-top) tubes
Pediatric (0-3 Years): 2 mL
Pediatric (0-3 Years): 2 mL
Minimum Volume
6 mL • Pediatric: 1 mL
Instructions
Informed consent is required.
Please label each specimen tube with two forms of patient identification. These forms of identification must also appear on the requistion form.
Stability Restrictions: Do not freeze.
Note: Higher blood volumes ensure adequate DNA quantity, which varies with WBC, specimen condition, and need for confirmatory testing. Patients, 0-3 years have higher WBC, yielding more DNA per mL of blood.
