HNL Genomics (CTGT) holds a New York State Department of Health Clinical Laboratory Permit to perform molecular genetic testing on patients from New York State. Currently, our osteogenesis imperfecta tests have been approved and may be run on all New York state patients. For all other tests, a Restricted Laboratory Permit must be obtained before HNL Genomics (CTGT) can perform the test on a New York state patient. Additional tests for New York state patients will be added when they are approved by the New York State Department of Health.
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA TESTING ON NEW YORK STATE PATIENTS

To order osteogenesis imperfecta testing on New York state patients, a Patient Consent Form must be completed and submitted to HNL Genomics (CTGT) with the patient specimen.

Additionally, HNL Genomics' (CTGT) standard Test Requisition Form should be completed and submitted with the patient specimen.

The following panels are approved for New York State patients:

   
(Please note: The MBTPS2 and XYLT2 genes are not included in the New York State Approved test.)

Additionally, the following osteogenesis imperfecta related genes are approved for single gene testing and targeted variant/known familial mutation testing:

ALPLANO5BMP1COL1A1,  COL1A2,   CREB3L1CRTAPFKBP10IFITM5LRP5, P3H1 (LEPRE1)P4HB,  PLOD2PLS3,  PPIBSEC24DSERPINF1SERPINH1SP7SPARCTAPT1TMEM38B, and  WNT1

TESTING FOR ALL OTHER DISORDERS ON NEW YORK STATE PATIENTS

To perform any other test on a New York State patient, a Non-Permitted Laboratory Test Request Approval Form must be completed and submitted to the New York State Department of Health. If the request is approved, HNL Genomics (CTGT) can perform the test for that patient. Please submit a copy of the approval letter and the HNL Genomics (CTGT) standard Test Requisition Form with the patient specimen. For further information on the approval process, please see the NYS Instructions and NYS Non-Permitted Laboratory Test Request Approval Form.

The Effect of Genetics on Individual Heart Health: Early Identification of FH Variations to Optimize Treatment

Test must be ordered by a Physician.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder that is characterized by abnormally high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, sometimes referred to as "bad cholesterol". This condition affects an estimated 1 in 250 people, and increases the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease. In fact, FH is estimated to be the cause of 2-3% of heart attacks in individuals younger than age 60.
