Clinical Information
Test purpose: Help
Diagnosis; Risk Assessment
Clinical validity: Help
This test is a full gene sequence analysis of the IDUA gene that sequences the entire protein coding regions (exons) as well as splice sites (exon-intron junctions).
Target population: Help
Individuals suspected to have mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I).
Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
VUS and novel variants will be interpreted by trained variant analysis team member and a lab director using the current ACMG variant classification criteria.

Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge? Help
No.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
Yes. No systemic re-evaluation of previously reported variants/findings are currently performed. However, if the same variant/finding is identified in another patient and current assessment results in change in variant classification/interpretation, then the laboratory will recontact the ordering provider and issue an updated report.
