Pricing Comments
We are happy to accommodate requests for testing single genes in this panel or a subset of these genes. The price will remain the list price. If desired, free reflex testing to remaining genes on panel is available.
This test is also offered via our exome backbone with CNV detection (click here). The exome-based test may be higher priced, but permits reflex to the entire exome or to any other set of clinically relevant genes.
An additional 25% charge will be applied to STAT orders. STAT orders are prioritized throughout the testing process.
Turnaround Time
3 weeks on average for standard orders or 2 weeks on average for STAT orders.
Please note: Once the testing process begins, an Estimated Report Date (ERD) range will be displayed in the portal. This is the most accurate prediction of when your report will be complete and may differ from the average TAT published on our website. About 85% of our tests will be reported within or before the ERD range. We will notify you of significant delays or holds which will impact the ERD. Learn more about turnaround times here.

Clinical Features and Genetics 
Clinical Features
Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is an autosomal recessive disorder of endogenous glyoxylate metabolism characterized by an accumulated urinary excretion of calcium oxalate (Rumsby 2008; Coulter-Mackie et al. 2002; Milliner et al. 2015). The increased oxalate excretion causes nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis and renal failure followed by systemic oxalate deposition. The age at onset of PH ranges from the first year of life to adulthood with varied disease severity. AGXT-causative type 1 PH is the most severe form, accounting for up to 80% of genetically characterized PH patients (Hopp et al. 2015). GRHPR-causative type 2 PH is less severe than type 1, accounting for about 10% of genetically characterized PH patients. HOGA1-causative type 3 PH is the least severe, accounting for the remaining about 10% of genetically characterized PH patients.
Genetics
Primary hyperoxaluria is an autosomal recessive disorder, which comprises three types depending on the causative genes: type 1 (AGXT), type 2 (GRHPR) and type 3 (HOGA1) (Hopp et al. 2015).
AGXT has 11 coding exons that encode the liver peroxisomal enzyme alanine:glyoxylate-aminotransferase (AGT), which catalyzes the conversion of glyoxylate to glycine. Genetic defects of AGXT throughout the whole coding region include missense, nonsense, splicing site pathogenic variants, and small deletion/insertions (Human Gene Mutation Database). Exon-level large deletions involving AGXT have also been reported, but are relatively uncommon.
GRHPR has 9 coding exons that encode the glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase, which catalyzes the reduction of hydroxypyruvate to D-glycerate, the reduction of glyoxylate to glycolate and the oxidation of D-glycerate to hydroxypyruvate. Genetic defects of GRHPR throughout the whole coding region include missense, nonsense, splicing site pathogenic variants and small deletion/insertions (Human Gene Mutation Database). Exon-level large deletions and duplications involving GRHPR have not been reported.
HOGA1 (formerly DHDPSL) has 7 coding exons that encode the 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate aldolase, which catalyzes the final step in the metabolic pathway of hydroxyproline. Genetic defects of HOGA1 throughout the whole coding region include missense, nonsense, splicing site pathogenic variants and small deletion/insertions (Human Gene Mutation Database). Exon-level large deletions and duplications involving HOGA1 have not been reported.
Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PG-Select
In a sequencing study of 301 PH families (355 patients), defects in the AGXT, GRHPR and HOGA1 genes were found in 68.4%, 9.3% and 11% of these families, respectively (Hopp et al. 2015). The remaining 11.3% had no pathogenic variants found in these three genes.
Large deletions and/or duplications have not been documented in GRHPR or HOGA1 in Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) while large deletions involving AGXT have been reported, but are relatively uncommon.
Testing Strategy
This panel provides 100% coverage of all coding exons of the genes listed, plus ~10 bases of flanking noncoding DNA. We define coverage as ≥20X NGS reads or Sanger sequencing.
Indications for Test
Candidates for this test are patients with primary hyperoxaluria.
