Diagnosis of NMO requires the presence of longitudinally extensive acute myelitis (lesions extending over 3 or more vertebral segments) and optic neuritis. While absence of antibodies to the AQP4 receptor does not rule out the diagnosis of NMO, presence of this antibody is diagnostic for NMO. RAQP4G Price: $ ColoSeq - Polyposis This test uses next-generation sequencing to detect most mutations in APC and MUTYH. Mutations in these genes are associated with familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome (APC) and MUTYH-associated polyposis syndrome. The assay completely sequences all exons, introns, and flanking regions of these genes AND detects large deletions and duplications. For additional information, see: Test Information: Requisition: TestForms/genetics.pdf Specimen Collection: 10 ml whole blood in Lavender top tube tube. Also acceptable: ACD tube.
