Test ID: SDHKM
Succinate Dehydrogenase (SDH) Gene, Known Mutation
Secondary ID
A test code used for billing and in test definitions created prior to November 2011
Useful For
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of suspected succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) disease, when familial mutations have been previously identified
Screening presymptomatic members of SDH families, when familial mutations have been previously identified
Tailoring optimal tumor-surveillance strategies for patients, when used in conjunction with phenotyping, when familial mutations have been previously identified
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 | Secondary ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SDHKS | 31634 | SDH Known Mutation | No | Yes |
| SDHKQ | 89560 | SDH Known Mutation Sequencing | No | Yes |
Additional Tests
Lists test(s) that are always performed, at an additional charge, with the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Test Number | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENDEX | 28640 | DNA Extraction | No | Yes |
Testing Algorithm
Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
When this test is ordered, both SDH known mutation (amplification) and SDH known mutation sequencing will be performed. DNA extraction will always be performed at an additional charge.
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
