Hypoglycemia Panel
Use
This test is intended for individuals presenting with ketotic or non-ketotic hypoglycemia without a known cause, and those with congenital hyperinsulinism without a known cause. The panel analyzes 171 genes to help identify potential genetic causes of hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinism, which can inform diagnosis, guide treatment decisions, and assist in genetic counseling.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test is limited by its reliance on NGS with CNV analysis, as rare variants might not be detected. Although comprehensive, the panel may not identify all potential genetic causes of hypoglycemia and congenital hyperinsulinism. Results must be interpreted in the context of clinical findings and family history. The test has not been FDA cleared or approved.
