Test Code CDG Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin for Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation, Serum


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.



Necessary Information


1. Patient's age is required.

2. Reason for testing is required.



Specimen Required


Collection Container/Tube:

Preferred: Serum gel
