Help2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate Mutase, Full Gene Sequencing Analysis, Varies
Special Instructions
Specimen Type
VariesOrdering Guidance
This test detects variants identifiable by Sanger sequencing in the BPGM gene only. For a reflexive evaluation including hemoglobin electrophoresis and variant analysis of genes associated with hereditary erythrocytosis, order REVE2 / Erythrocytosis Evaluation, Blood.
This test does not provide a serum erythropoietin (EPO) level. If EPO testing is desired, order EPO / Erythropoietin, Serum.
Necessary Information
Erythrocytosis Patient Information (T694) is strongly recommended, but not required, to be filled out and sent with the specimen. This information aids in providing a more thorough interpretation of test results. Ordering providers are strongly encouraged to complete the form and send it with the specimen.
Specimen Required
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Patient Preparation: Bone marrow transplants preclude accurate germline and genetic variant analysis. Inform the laboratory if this patient has undergone bone marrow transplantation. On rare occasions transfusion of blood products can preclude accurate genetic variant analysis, and results should be interpreted with caution if performed after recent transfusion (within 4 months).
