Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome multigene analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method

aHUS multigene analysis Bld/T

Definition

  • Multigene testing for atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), a condition that can begin in the neonatal period to adulthood and consists of hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal failure caused by platelet thrombi in the kidney and other organs. Genes associated with genetic aHUS include C3, C5, CD46, CFB, CFH, CFHR1, CFHR2, CFHR3, CFHR4, CFHR5, CFI, DGKE, PLG, THBD, and MMACHC. Testing is performed for diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic assessment in patients with aHUS.[NCBI Books: NBK1367]
