MessageLabCorp
Test Code
252357
CPT Codes
81407
Includes
"This test covers all coding nucleotides of gene MYBPC3, plus at least two and typically 20 flanking intronic nucleotides upstream and downstream of each coding exon, covering the conserved donor and acceptor splice sites, as well as typically 20 flanking
Preferred Specimen
"Whole blood; DNA is accepted (Call Correlagen at 781-647-0604 for DNA collection information.)

Minimum Volume
"2 mL

Instructions
"In cases in which there is a known mutation that can be documented, the physician may prefer to order test 252609.
For all Correlagen tests, specimens must be accompanied by a completed consent form. In the case of family tests (ie, known mutations), Correlagen requires the result report of the first patient tested in the family (the index case), if not performed at Correlagen. Other family members are subsequently tested for the specific mutation found in the first patient tested.
