The University of Chicago Genetic Services Laboratories is pleased to announce new testing options for Familial Hyperinsulinism!

Our Tier 1: Diazoxide Unresponsive Hyperinsulinism panel includes sequence analysis of ABCC8, GCK and KCNJ11, in addition to deletion/duplication analysis of ABCC8. This panel provides rapid results within 7 days to help inform management decisions for affected patients.

Our Comprehensive Familial Hyperinsulinism panel includes sequence analysis of 8 genes associated with familial hyperinsulinism, in addition to deletion/duplication analysis of 7 genes. This comprehensive test is most appropriate for determining the genetic etiology of hyperinsulinism when results are not needed urgently to determine management of the patient.

We offer competitive pricing and turnaround time. Targeted testing for parents is available at no charge if a genetic variant is identified. Please contact Amy Knight Johnson at aknightjohnson@bsd.uchicago.edu or visit our website for more information.
