Important Note

Mayo's test code: CDG

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Reporting Name

Ordering Guidance


This test is for congenital disorders of glycosylation. If the ordering provider is looking for evaluation of alcohol abuse, order CDTA / Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin, Adult, Serum.

 

If either PMM2-CDG (CDG-Ia) or MPI-CDG (CDG-Ib) is suspected, order PMMIL / Phosphomannomutase and Phosphomannose Isomerase, Leukocytes.

Genetics Test Information

This testing is used to screen patients for suspected congenital disorders of glycosylation (N- and O-glycosylation defects as well as glycan structure analysis).

 

Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) encompass over 150 genetic conditions spanning a broad clinical spectrum.

 

The main CDG profiles that can be identified by this analysis are type I, some type II, and mixed type CDG.
