Test ID: FABKM
Fabry Disease, Known Mutation
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
Diagnostic confirmation of Fabry disease when a familial mutation has been previously identified
Carrier screening of at-risk individuals when a mutation in the GLA gene has been identified in an affected family member
Prenatal testing when 2 familial mutations have been previously identified in an affected family member
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
Documentation of the specific familial mutation must be provided with the specimen in order to perform this test.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| FBC | Fibroblast Culture for Genetic Test | Yes | No |
| AFC | Amniotic Fluid Culture/Genetic Test | Yes | No |
| MCC | Maternal Cell Contamination, B | Yes | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
For prenatal specimens only: If amniotic fluid (non-confluent cultured cells) is received, amniotic fluid culture/genetic test will be added and charged separately. If chorionic villus specimen (non-confluent cultured cells) is received, fibroblast culture for genetic test will be added and charged separately. For any prenatal specimen that is received, maternal cell contamination studies will be added.

Special Instructions and Forms Describes specimen collection and preparation information, test algorithms, and other information pertinent to test. Also includes pertinent information and consent forms to be used when requesting a particular test
Method Name A short description of the method used to perform the test
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification/DNA sequencing are utilized to test for the presence of a specific mutation in the GLA gene previously identified in an affected family member.
(PCR is utilized pursuant to a license agreement with Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.)
