LOINC description : Full sequencing analysis of the three coding exons and intron/exon boundaries of the
VHL gene.[OMIM: 608537][NCBI Gene ID: 7428] This test is performed for patients with
suspected hereditary erythrocytosis, or familial erythrocytosis, type 2 (ECYT2)[OMIM:
263400], associated with lifelong increased RBC mass, elevated RBC count, hemoglobin,
and hematocrit. Mutations in the VHL gene that cause ECYT2 are inherited in an autosomal
recessive fashion and associated with normal to increased serum erythropoietin (EPO)
levels. For genetic testing for von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, see VHL gene deletion
duplication & full mutation analysis [LOINC: 82533-1].;
