Alport syndrome
- GTR Test IDHelpEach Test is a specific, orderable test from a particular laboratory, and is assigned a unique GTR accession number. The format is GTR00000001.1, with a leading prefix 'GTR' followed by 8 digits, a period, then 1 or more digits representing the version. When a laboratory updates a registered test, a new version number is assigned.: GTR000603766.1

This is a clinical test intended for HelpPurposes or indications for the test. Lab-provided.: Diagnosis, Mutation Confirmation, Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, Pre-symptomatic
Click Indication tab for more information.
When genetic diagnosis is indicated by meeting the clinical criteria required and / or requested by the received genetic counselling, the procedure to follow is as follows: send a 25-ml blood sample during 24h post-extraction at room temperature, frozen lymphocites or DNA together with order form at laboratory address. Previous contact with Dra. Castellanos is recommended.
