Testing for Known Mutation

The CDL offers targeted mutation analysis for previously identified mutations in the genes we sequence, including COL1A1, COL1A2, COL3A1, TGFBR1, TGFBR2, CRTAP, LEPRE1, and ACTA2.

Known mutation testing should be selected if a mutation was previously identified in the family by the Collagen Diagnostic Laboratory (we tested a relative of the patient) or by another laboratory (please provide a copy of the original mutation report if testing was not completed at our laboratory).

Specimen Requirements: 5 cc of blood drawn in EDTA (lavender top tube) or DNA
