Surfactant Deficiency caused by ABCA3 Mutations
Gene:		ABCA3
Test:		Direct mutation analysis by gene sequencing of the coding regions of ABCA3
CPT Codes:		Complete Sequence 83898 x 30 83904 x 42 83909 x 42 83912 x 1
Sensitivity:		ABCA3 mutations are expected in approximately 75% of infants with respiratory distress with low surfactant levels when surfactant protein B and C deficiencies have been excluded. Full sequencing should detect 99% of mutations.
Cost:		$2332
Turn Around Time:		4 to 5 weeks
Special Considerations:		Clinical history on affected individual is requested.
