Kidney Disease or testing by the Number
This is the percentage of kidney disease in adults that may be genetic in nature
What is 10%
This is the type of genetic sequencing used in MCL's renal genetic testing.
What is Next-generation?
This panel evaluates for different disease states. All of which have variants in genes encoding complement alternate pathway components and specific coagulation pathway genes.
What is AHUGP?
aHUS, TMA, or C3G
All of the Genetic Kidney Disease Evaluations were developed with this particular specialist in mind.
Who is a Nephrologist?
This previously independent genetic laboratory fell upon hard times and is now owned by LabCorp.
Who is Invitae?
This is the number of cystic kidney disease genetic panels MCL has.
What is 2?
The type of analysis used to detect variants in technically challenging genes, such as PDK1
What is long-range PCR?
Only these two risk alleles, commonly called G1 and G2, which are associated with increased risk for development of nondiabetic kidney disease are assessed in the panel.
What is APOL1?
This specialist can be a call point as well as the nephrologist for many of our panels as the patient's condition worsens to ESRD.
Who is a Transplant surgeon or transplant physician?
This national competitor was not even listed on our comparison list as it has no renal genetic testing to compare to MCL'S renal genetic panels.
Who is Quest Diagnostics?
The percentage of kidney disease in children that is genetic in nature is thought to be close to this number.
What is 70%?
Renal genetic testing at Mayo Clinic Laboratories was developed in collaboration with nephrologists, renal pathologists, geneticists, genetic counselors, and laboratory scientists. The genes included in our panels were carefully vetted to ensure results are this.
What are Clinically actionable?
This gene panel may be particularly beneficial for patients with nephrotic syndrome.
What is RFSGS? Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and Nephrotic Syndrome Gene Panel
CASRG full gene sequencing can reveal hypoparathyroidism which may make it a test this type of specialist may order.
Who is an Endocrinologist?
This laboratory, often a primary reference laboratory, has only one renal genetic test comparable to MCL's offerings.
Who is ARUP?
This is the number of clinically relevant genes MCL's Comprehensive Nephrology Gene Panel (NEPHP) evaluates.
What is 302?
If you are uncertain which genetic test to order, this individual will guide you to an appropriate selection.
Who is a genetic counselor?
This is what should be ordered if a doctor wants to assess the 3 genes associated with hyperoxaluria.
What is CGPH or Customized Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing Panel?
This particular test may get the interest of Urologists as well as Nephrologists and the Transplant team.
What is RSCGP? Nephrocalcinosis, Nephrolithiasis, and Renal Electrolyte Imbalance Gene Panel
This competitor boasts of a comprehensive Kidney Gene panel consisting of 397 genes.
Who is Natera?
The number of genes associated with nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and other inherited conditions associated with renal electrolyte imbalances is assessed in MCL's RSCGP panel.
What us 72?
Analysis providing +/- this number of base pairs flanking each coding exon is considered standard coverage.
What is 10?
Used when a DNA variant of interest has been previously identified in a family member and follow-up testing for this specific variant in other family members is desired.
What is FMTT (Familial Targeted Variant Testing)?
Call points for this testing include:
Nephrologists, Gastroenterologists, Hepatologists, and Neonatologists
What is ALAGP? Alagille Syndrome Gene Panel
The only other laboratory with a specific test for ADPKD, but they have no offering for Bartter Syndrome or aHUS.
Who is Preventive Genetics?
