Gene Test or Protein/Plasma Test?
June 2010
A different kind of test-ordering error occurs when a genetic test for a specific disease is ordered, when the nongenetic test for the same disease is indicated, and vice verse. For many other disorders, we offer 2 different types of tests: tests that assess a patient’s DNA and tests that assess the composition of the patient’s plasma. While these 2 types of tests may relate to the same disease process, their indications are typically quite different.
