Myelin Protein Zero (MPZ) DNA Sequencing Test
Test Code120811
CPT Codes
81405
Physician Attestation of Informed Consent
This germline genetic test requires physician attestation that patient consent has been received if ordering medical facility is located in AK, DE, FL, GA, IA, MA, MN, NV, NJ, NY, OR, SD or VT or test is performed in MA.
Preferred Specimen
8 mL whole blood collected in an EDTA (lavender-top) tube, or
Pediatric volume: 2 mL
Pediatric volume: 2 mL
Minimum Volume
6 mL
Pediatric: 1 mL
Pediatric: 1 mL
Instructions
Informed consent required.
Please label each specimen tube with two forms of patient identification. These forms of identification must also appear on the requisition form.
Shipping conditions: Avoid freezing. Must arrive Monday through Friday.
Please 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.
