Limitations
This test does not detect large deletions and duplications in BPGM.
 
Polycythemia vera and acquired causes of erythrocytosis should be excluded before ordering this test.
 
Certain genetic alterations have no clinical manifestations and, in essence, are clinically benign. Correlation with all relevant clinical information is necessary to provide appropriate patient care.


Reference Range
Included with report


Clinical Significance
Diagnosing 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase deficiency in individuals with lifelong, unexplained erythrocytosis
 
Identifying genetic variant carriers in family members of an affected individual for the purposes of preconception genetic counseling
 
This test is not intended for prenatal diagnosis.
