Test ID 2HGA 2-Hydroxyglutaric Acid Chiral Analysis, Quantitative, Random, Urine


Necessary Information


1. Age and sex of patient are required.

2. Biochemical Genetics Patient Information (T602) is recommended, but not required, to be filled out and sent with the specimen to aid in the interpretation of test results.



Specimen Required


Supplies: Urine Tube, 10 mL (T068)

Container/Tube: Plastic, 10-mL urine tube

Specimen Volume: 10 mL

Pediatric: If the collection volume appears insufficient, submit as much specimen as possible in a single container; the laboratory will determine if volume is sufficient for test.

Collection Instructions:

1. Collect a random urine specimen (first morning void preferred)

2. No preservative


Useful For

Determining type of 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria by chiral analysis of urine

Highlights

This test provides differentiation of the 3 subtypes of 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria: D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, and combined D,L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. It also provides a quantitative result of the D- and L-enantiomers of 2-hydroxyglutaric acid via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis.
