Description:
Antibodies to pancreatic exocrine cells (ExPA) have been suggested as a very specific Crohn's Disease (CD) serological marker. Clinical studies reported a prevalence of 30-50% in CD patients. In spite of the relatively low sensitivity, ExPA can detect a subpopulation of CD patients that are negative for other CD markers (ASCA IgG, ASCA IgA), thus being very useful in combination with other IBD tests.

Immune Cell Function
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$1179 |
Info
|
|
Description:
This non-pathogen-specific immune function assay detects cell-mediated immunity by measuring intracellular adenosine triphosphate (iATP) levels in stimulated CD4 lymphocytes. This test may be useful in assessing the immunosuppressive status of solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients to help predict the risk of infection and optimize immunosuppressive regimens [1,2]. The risk of infection after transplantation depends upon the epidemiologic exposures and the net state of immunosuppression [3]. Excessive immunosuppression increases the risk of infection; inadequate immunosuppression increases the risk of graft rejection. Because CD4 lymphocytes mediate cell-mediated immunity (CMI), quantification of CD4 activation may be helpful in assessing the immunosuppression status after SOT. Early responses of CD4 lymphocytes can be quantified by measuring iATP production in stimulated CD4 cells. By assessing CMI, this assay may help estimate the aggregate impact of multiple factors, such as the use of immune suppressants and underlying clinical conditions, on a patient's immune status [1,2]. This assay cannot be used as a diagnostic test for infection or graft rejection and does not replace diagnostic assays (eg, culture, viral load, and biopsy) to inform clinical decisions [2]. Without standardized strategies to simultaneously assess a patient's risk for infection and graft rejection, clinical judgment remains crucial for individualizing patient management. The value of this assay for assessing risk of infection [4] and rejection [4,5] in SOT recipients needs further study. Results are most accurate if testing is performed on the day of blood draw. Performing the assay ≥1 day after the draw may lead to falsely low iATP levels [6]. The results of this test should be interpreted in the context of pertinent clinical and family history and physical examination findings. References

BRAF Mutation Analysis
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$1599 |
Info
|
|
Description:
BRAF encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase downstream of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the RAS family of small G-proteins (KRAS, HRAS and NRAS) in the MAPK pathway. BRAF is mutated in a variety of human tumors, most frequently in melanoma and in papillary thyroid cancer. BRAF mutations are also found in lower frequency in colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), hairy cell leukemia, glioma, sarcomas, breast cancer, hepatoma and ovarian cancer.
BRAF mutations are found clustered within the P-loop (exons 11&12) and activation domain (exon 15) of the kinase domain. A single glutamic acid for valine substitution at codon 600 (V600E) in exon 15 comprises approximately 90% of BRAF somatic mutations in cancer. In general, BRAF V600E mutations do not coexist with RAS mutations in the same tumor cells, suggesting that each of these genetic alterations is sufficient for activating downstream effectors that initiate or promote tumorigenesis.
The BRAF V600E mutation is also associated with significantly poor prognosis and higher recurrent and persistent disease in patients with melanomas, colorectal carcinoma, and papillary thyroid cancers. In patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, the presence of the BRAF V600E mutation in tumors with wild-type KRAS is associated with resistance to EGFR inhibitor therapy. In contrast, in patients with metastatic melanoma, BRAF V600E mutation may predict for response to BRAF inhibitors. Therefore, BRAF mutation analysis may be used either as a standalone test for the selection of cancer patients who might benefit from BRAF inhibitor therapies, or as an additional tool (along with RAS mutation analysis) for the selection of metastatic colorectal cancer patients that might benefit from EGFR-targeted therapies.

Celiac Disease Comprehensive Panel
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$374 |
Info
|
|
Description:
Celiac disease is caused by an immune response to gluten in genetically sensitive individuals. The diagnosis is largely based on a biopsy of the small intestine, but serologic tests also help support a diagnosis and may assist identification of patients who may require biopsy.
Tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG, IgA) is a marker with 95% sensitivity and specificity. Total IgA is measured because 2-3% of celiac disease patients are IgA deficient. Because tTG, IgA, and anti-Gliadin IgA tend to decrease in patients on a gluten-free diet, these markers are also used to assess dietary compliance.
The endomysial antibody (EMA, IgA) assay has high specificity for celiac disease and is used to confirm positive anti-tTG results.

Description:
Colonization with H. pylori is associated with increased risk of patients developing gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Stool antigen testing provides a sensitive measure of infection including during and after treatment.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
Includes:
H. Pylori AG Stool
Alternative Name(s):
H. pylori Antigen, H. pylori Stool Antigen
Patient Instructions:
Collect 0.5 mL or 0.5 grams of semi-solid stool or 20 mm diameter solid stool and transfer to properly labeled plastic, leak-proof container. Do not place stool in preservative, transport media or swab. Watery, diarrheal stool is not acceptable. It is recommended that you contact the Patient Service Center to verify appropriate container for submitting stool specimen. It may be required that you go to the lab and pickup a container to submit your stool specimen.
For initial diagnostic purposes no special patient preparation is required. Patients are not required to be off of medications or to fast before this test. While positive test results from patients taking agents such as proton pump inhibitors and antimicrobials should be considered accurate, false negative results may be obtained. For this reason, physicians may suggest the patient go off medications for two weeks and repeat test if negative results are obtained.
To confirm eradication, testing should be done at least 4 weeks following the completion of treatment. However, a positive test result 7 days post therapy is indicative of treatment failure. Watery, diarrheal stool is not acceptable.

Gliadin (Deamidated Peptide) Antibody (IgG, IgA)
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$79 |
Info
|
|
Description:
Detection of antibodies to gliadin, one of the major protein components of gluten, is a sensitive assay useful in diagnosing celiac disease. However, gliadin antibodies may be found in individuals without celiac disease; thus gliadin antibody assays are less specific than assays measuring antibodies to endomysium and transglutaminase. Recent work has revealed that gliadin-reactive antibodies from celiac patients bind to a very limited number of specific epitopes on the gliadin molecule. Further, deamidation of gliadin results in enhanced binding of gliadin antibodies. Based on this information, assays using deamidated gliadin peptides bearing the celiac-specific epitopes have much higher diagnostic accuracy for celiac disease when compared to standard gliadin antibody assays.
Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Description:
Amylase is a digestive enzyme produced by the pancreas and salivary gland. Elevated amylase levels can be indicative of pancreatitis. The most common cause of elevation of serum amylase is inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). In acute pancreatitis, serum amylase begins to rise within 6-24 hours, remains elevated for a few days and returns to normal in 3-7 days. Other causes of elevated serum amylase are inflammation of salivary glands (mumps), biliary tract disease and bowel obstruction. Elevated serum amylase can also be seen with drugs (e.g., morphine) which constrict the pancreatic duct sphincter preventing excretion of amylase into the intestine.
A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
