Units of Measure

%, cells/mcL

Synonyms

  • IPEX
  • Immune dysregulation polyendocrinopathy enteropathy
  • T-reg cells
  • X-linked syndrome

Tests Included

Population of T-regulatory cells, Expression of Foxp3 among T-regulatory cells

Methodology

Flow Cytometry

Reported

2 days

Interpretive Data

This flow cytometry assay is intended to be used as a screening test.  Screening tests are not 100% sensitive nor specific, and a normal result should not preclude molecular sequencing if a patient’s clinical presentation suggests that the probability of a diagnosis is high.
