Low Levels of Free Carnitine (C0) via the SLC22A5 Gene
Use
This test is intended for individuals with features indicative of Primary Carnitine Deficiency, individuals with low free carnitine (C0) levels identified through newborn screening, and reproductive partners of individuals with known pathogenic SLC22A5 gene variants. The test assists in confirming a diagnosis by detecting variants in the SLC22A5 gene, which are associated with the condition.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test focuses on detecting variants within the SLC22A5 gene, potentially missing other relevant genetic findings not covered within the scope of this exome or genome sequencing setup. It may not detect all possible mutations or CNVs within these genes, and external factors such as sample quality may affect results.
