Useful For

Providing a genetic evaluation for patients with a personal or family history suggestive of Carney Complex (CNC) or acrodysostosis-1 with hormone resistance

 

Establishing a diagnosis of CNC or acrodysostosis-1 with hormone resistance

Genetics Test Information

This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide and copy number variants in one gene associated with Carney Complex (CNC): PRKAR1A. See Method Description for additional details.

 

Identification of a disease-causing variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling for CNC.

 

Prior Authorization is available for this assay.
