Invitae Autoinflammatory and Autoimmunity Syndromes Panel
Use
The Invitae Autoinflammatory and Autoimmunity Syndromes Panel analyzes genes associated with autoinflammatory and autoimmune conditions. These include disorders characterized by episodic inflammation due to inappropriate activation of the innate immune response, and autoimmune disorders caused by defects in adaptive immunity leading to loss of self-tolerance. The panel aids in diagnosing conditions such as familial cold autoinflammatory syndromes, inflammatory bowel disease, and Familial Mediterranean Fever among others.

Limitations
The test achieves >99% analytical sensitivity and specificity for various genetic variations but may have reduced sensitivity for structural rearrangements or variants in complex regions. Some types of variants, such as those in promoter regions or complex sequences, might not be detected, and limitations are provided in the test report. External factors like recent blood transfusion may affect the accuracy of results.
