Pricing Comments
Our favored testing approach is exome based NextGen sequencing with CNV analysis. This will allow cost effective reflexing to PGxome or other exome based tests. However, if full gene Sanger sequencing is desired for STAT turnaround time, insurance, or other reasons, please see link below for Test Code, pricing, and turnaround time information.
An additional 25% charge will be applied to STAT orders. STAT orders are prioritized throughout the testing process.

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
Renal hypouricemia is characterized by impaired renal urate (uric acid) reabsorption and subsequent low serum urate levels, with severe complications such as exercise-induced acute renal failure and nephrolithiasis (Matsuo et al. 2008). Renal hypouricemia type 2 is caused by SLC2A9 pathogenic variants.
Genetics
Renal hypouricemia type 2 is generally defined as an autosomal recessive disorder caused by loss-of-function SLC2A9 pathogenic variants (Dinour et al. 2010; Dinour et al. 2012), but has been also reported to be caused by heterozygous SLC2A9 pathogenic variants (Matsuo et al. 2008). The degree of uric acid reabsorption in heterozygous carriers varies depending on other genetic or nongenetic factors. The SLC2A9 (12 coding exons; also known as GLUT9) encodes a high-affinity urate transporter functioning in renal urate reabsorption. Genetic defects of SLC2A9 found to date include missense, nonsense, splicing mutations, small deletions and large deletions/duplications (Human Gene Mutation Database).
Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PGxome
The detection rate of pathogenic variants in the SLC2A9 gene in a large cohort of patients with renal hypouricemia is unknown in the literature because only a limited number of cases have been reported in individual studies.
In three out of the 23 hypouricemic Japanese patients without the SLC22A12 (also known as URAT1) W258X pathogenic variant, Matsuo et al. found two missense SLC2A9 pathogenic variants in three cases (Matsuo et al. 2008).
Testing Strategy
This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the SLC2A9 gene plus 10 bases of flanking noncoding DNA in all available transcripts along with other non-coding regions in which pathogenic variants have been identified at PreventionGenetics or reported elsewhere. We define full coverage as >20X NGS reads or Sanger sequencing. PGnome panels typically provide slightly increased coverage over the PGxome equivalent. PGnome sequencing panels have the added benefit of additional analysis and reporting of deep intronic regions (where applicable).
Dependent on the sequencing backbone selected for this testing, discounted reflex testing to any other similar backbone-based test is available (i.e., PGxome panel to whole PGxome; PGnome panel to whole PGnome).
Indications for Test
Candidates for this test are patients with renal hypouricemia. Testing is also indicated for family members of patients who have known mutations in the SLC2A9 gene. This test may also be considered for the reproductive partners of individuals who carry pathogenic variants in SLC2A9.

If ordering a Duo or Trio test, the proband and all comparator samples are required to initiate testing. If we do not receive all required samples for the test ordered within 21 days, we will convert the order to the most effective testing strategy with the samples available. Prior authorization and/or billing in place may be impacted by a change in test code.
