Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Follow up for abnormal biochemical results suggestive of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD)

 

Establishing a molecular diagnosis for patients with MSUD

 

Identifying variants within genes known to be associated with MSUD, allowing for predictive testing of at-risk family members

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide and copy number variants in 6 genes associated with maple syrup urine disease: BCKDHA, BCKDHB, BCKDK, DBT, DLD, PPM1K. See Targeted Genes and Methodology Details for Maple Syrup Urine Disease Gene Panel in Special Instructions and Method Description for additional details.

 

Identification of a pathogenic variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling for maple syrup urine disease.

 

Additional first tier testing may be considered/recommended. For more information see Advisory Information.
