Our panels include over 3,000 genes selected based on curated gene reviews, variant databases (HGMD and ClinVar), most recent literature, and customer requests. We offer enhanced clinical utility, maximized diagnostic yield, empowered differential diagnosis as well as analytically validated up-to-date genes across all our panels. Difficult-to-sequence genes are covered with high quality enabling true diagnostic impact in challenging patient cases.
Inherited skeletal diseases are difficult to subtype and classify into categories. The design and gene selection of our skeletal disease panels follows Mortier et al. (Nosology and Classification of Genetic Skeletal Disorders: 2019 Revision; PMID: 31633310).
In addition to many disorder-specific panels, larger disease groups are also targeted. Specifically, our Macrocephaly/Overgrowth Syndrome Panel and Microcephaly and Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia Panel are suitable for patients with abnormalities in skull structure and symptoms that substantially overlap with neurological diseases. Similarly, our Neuronal Migration Disorder Panel covers a broader set of genes related to holoprosencephaly, lissencephaly, and polymicrogyria.
What genetic diagnostics can offer patients with hereditary malformations
Genetic diagnostics is the most efficient way to subtype these diseases and provide the necessary information to make confident individualized treatment and management decisions. Moreover, identifying the causative mutation establishes the mode of inheritance within the family, which is essential for well-informed genetic counseling. Additionally, genetic diagnosis can help in family planning.
Summary Genetic testing is recommended for individuals with suspected heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD), as results can guide management, determine whether additional surveillance for extra cardiac features is indicated, and identify at- risk relatives. To further demonstrate the value of genetic testing for these patients, we reviewed results from…
Summary Pancreatitis can result from a combination of both genetic and non-genetic factors. Some genetic variants are highly penetrant, while others act as low penetrance “disease modifying” contributors, making results difficult to interpret. To better understand the inheritance patterns and complexity of results,, we reviewed genetic testing results from…
Summary Background: As the importance of genetic testing in primary immunodeficiency (PID) grows, this study aimed to add to the knowledge of genetics of PID by employing advanced sequencing techniques and focusing on difficult-to-sequence gene regions. Methods: A retrospective review of nearly 2,200 patients suspected of PID,…
