Pseudohypoaldosteronism, Type 1A (PHA, 1A) 

Gene:    SCNN1A; reflexed to SCNN1B and SCNN1G
   
Test:   Direct analysis of the coding sequence of SCNN1A, SCNN1B and SCNN1G
   
CPT Codes:
  SCNN1A:
83891 x 1
83898 x 14
83904 x 28
83909 x 28
83912 x 1

 

SCNN1B:
83898 x 12
83904 x 24
83909 x 24
83912 x 1
SCNN1G:
83898 x 13
83904 x 26
83909 x 26
83912 x 1
Sensitivity:   PHA, 1A is a rare condition, and series of patients screened for SCNN1B, SCNN1G and SCNN1A mutations have not been published.  Our test panel has been designed to detect approximately 91% of reported mutations.  The panel will not detect gross gene deletions (reported in two cases of PHA, 1A).   Of reported mutations associated with PHA, 1A, 58% occur in SCNN1A, 21% occur in SCNN1B and 21% in SCNN1G.      
  
Cost:   SCNN1A:  $1526 per individual
SCNN1B:  $1270 per individual
SCNN1G:  $1362 per individual
       
Turn Around Time:   Approximately 5 weeks for each gene
Special Considerations:   Phenotypic information is extremely helpful.
