  • An order for the full FSHD1 and FSHD2 panel is not required; providers must be specific on the UIDL FSHD Test Requisition whether the full panel or individual components are requested.

    • Note, there will always be one professional charge irrespective of what test is ordered.

  • An order for a full panel may not require performance of all the components, and the UIDL will only bill for the work performed.

    • Please know that the amount of testing that will ultimately be performed on a specimen when an order for the full panel is requested cannot be determined prior to the start of the testing.

    • In general, the minimum amount of testing performed is optical mapping to determine allele sizes and haplotyping.

Please refer to FSHD diagnostic workflow for more detail.
