Test ID: MSH6Z
MSH6 Gene, Full Gene Analysis, Varies
Method Description 
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Bidirectional sequence analysis is performed to test for the presence of a mutation in all coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the MSH6 gene. Additionally, array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) is used to test for the presence of large deletions and duplications in this gene.(Aradhya S, Lewis R, Bonaga T, et al: Exon-level array CGH in a large clinical cohort demonstrates increased sensitivity of diagnostic testing for Mendelian disorders.

PDF Report Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
No
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Performed weekly; Varies
Analytic Time Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.
14 days
Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Clinic Laboratories until the release of the test result
20 days
Performing Laboratory Location Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test
