LabCorp is the only commercial laboratory that measures an 11-oxo-androgen panel, which measures 11-hydroxyandrostenedione, 11-hydroxytestosterone and 11-ketotestosterone. In addition, the NIH Clinical Center Department of Pediatrics has utilized LabCorp for genetic testing for CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency since 2004.

Switching laboratories could necessitate other testing to be performed on historical data, which would increase the cost to the government and potentially impair clinical care.
