Ashkenazi Panel

The Ashkenazi Jewish panel consists of clilnical genetic testing for multiple genetic conditions that either occur more frequently in people of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry or have well documented mutations that are specific to people of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. The number of conditions tested for varies by provider (from 9 to over 20 conditions).

This testing is for medical, clinical purposes.

This testing is available online at the Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below.

This testing is also available through many offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.

Glycogen Storage Disease Type 1a

Genetic testing for glycogen storage disease type 1a looks for well documented mutations in the gene causing the condition. These mutations are primarily found in people of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. As such, this testing may not be useful to people of different ethnic backgrounds and alternative genetic testing may be needed.

This testing is for medical, clinical purposes.

This testing is available online at the Direct to Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below.

Some providers also offer this testing as part of a larger panel: Ashkenazi Jewish Panel.

This testing is also available through many offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.

Glycogen Storage Disease, Type IA - Selected Mutations (as part of Whole Genome Scan)

Glycogen storage disease, type IA testing by whole genome scanning looks for selected mutations in the gene causing the disorder. Of note, this testing does not detect all known disease-causing mutations. Depending on the methodology used, whole genome scanning is typically not as accurate as conventional molecular genetic testing methods.

As such, individuals who are pregnant, have a personal or family history of the disorder, or have a spouse who is a known carrier, may be better candidates for conventional molecular testing methods. Test results should be discussed with a genetic professional.

This testing is available online through the Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below. A consultation with a trained genetic professional may be useful.
