SerumOrdering Guidance
This test is for congenital disorders of glycosylation. If the ordering provider is looking for evaluation of alcohol abuse, order CDTA / Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin, Adult, Serum.
If either PMM2-CDG (CDG-Ia) or MPI-CDG (CDG-Ib) is suspected, order PMMIL / Phosphomannomutase and Phosphomannose Isomerase, Leukocytes.
Necessary Information
1. Patient's age is required.
