608455
General Information:

Variants in PYGM are associated with autosomal recessive Glycogen Storage Disease type V, also known as McArdle disease. This test will detect the two most common variants, p.Arg50Ter and p.Gly205Ser as well as any other sequencing error. Large deletions of PYGM are rare and will not be detected by NGS.

  • Specimen Requirements

    Label specimens with the patient’s full name, date of birth, collection date and source (if appropriate). Please use the tube size appropriate for the sample volume.

    Peripheral Blood

    • Infants: Minimum of 2-3 ml of whole blood in a purple top (EDTA) tube.
    • Adults and children over 2 years of age: Minimum of 3-5 ml of whole blood in a purple top (EDTA) tube.


    Cord Blood

    • Minimum of 3-5 ml of whole blood in a purple top (EDTA) tube.


    Isolated DNA

    • Minimum of 50 µl at a concentration of 100 ng/µl. Please include concentration on the specimen label.
  • Storage and Shipping Information

    Blood samples are stable at room temperature (15ºC to 25ºC) for one day or at 2º to 8ºC for up to 5 days. Blood samples should not be frozen at any time.

    DNA sample stability is dependent on the methodology used for the isolation. In general the DNA should be stable and can be shipped ambient or cold, following the directions below.

    Specimens from outside facilities should be packaged according to standard medical safety practices. Refrigerate samples if stored overnight prior to shipping. In hot weather, include a cool pack in the shipping container. Do not allow the specimen to freeze at any time. Package the completed test requisition inside the packaging container with the specimen. Please ship by overnight priority.

    Specimens should not be shipped on Fridays, Saturdays or the day preceding a holiday.

    **Holiday schedules will be noted on our website at least one week prior to the holiday. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
