Misordered Tests
June 2010
In the first part of this series, I will discuss misordered tests, that is, tests that are mistakenly ordered for the wrong purpose. This is a list of the most commonly misordered tests received by MML. In part 1, we focused on 3 chemistry tests--1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, PTH-related peptide and uroporphyrinogen III synthase. In part 2, we covered the various T- and B-cell tests. Today, for part 3, we will cover the most commonly misordered genetic tests, including the use of known mutation tests, molecular vs nonmolecular tests, and chromosome analyses.
