| name | NPC1 gene+NPC2 gene deletion+duplication and full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method | ||
| description | Full gene sequence analysis is performed to detect the presence of a mutation in all coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the NPC1 and NPC2 genes. In addition, deletion/duplication analysis, such as by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), detects presence of large deletions or duplications in these genes. Testing is performed to diagnosis Niemann-Pick type C (NPC), an inherited disorder of cholesterol transport that results in a build up accumulation of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids in the endosomal/lysosomal system.[GHR gene:NPC1][GHR gene:NPC2] | ||
