Test ID: A1ATR
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Profile
Secondary ID
A test code used for billing and in test definitions created prior to November 2011
NY State Approved
Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.
Useful For
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
This is Mayo's preferred approach for diagnosing alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (alpha-1-antitrypsin quantitation and genotype).
Determining the specific allelic variant (genotyping) for prognosis and genetic counseling
Genetics Test Information
Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
Profile includes serum alpha-1-antitrypsin levels and molecular analysis (S and Z alleles). If the genotyping and quantitative serum level are discordant, A1ATP/17089 Alpha-1-Antitrypsin (A1A) Phenotyping, Serum will be added and performed at an additional charge.
Profile Information
A profile is a group of laboratory tests that are ordered and performed together under a single Mayo Test ID. Profile information lists the test performed, inclusive of the test fee, when a profile is ordered and includes reporting names and individual availability.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1AT | Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Genotyping, B | No | Yes |
| AATQ | Alpha-1-Antitrypsin, S | Yes, (order AAT) | Yes |
Reflex Tests
Lists test(s) that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1ATP | A1AT Phenotype, S | Yes, (order A1APP) | No |
Testing Algorithm
Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
If the genotyping and quantitative serum level are discordant, then alpha-1-antitrypsin phenotyping, will be added and performed at an additional charge.
