Invitae Congenital Ichthyosis Panel
Use
The Invitae Congenital Ichthyosis Panel analyzes genes associated with congenital or early onset ichthyosis and related skin diseases characterized by thick, dry, scaly, and/or reddened skin, a collodion membrane, or palm and sole thickening at birth or in early childhood. This test aids in confirming a diagnosis, guiding treatment, and management, and assessing recurrence-risk and genetic counseling by identifying disease-causing variants.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The analysis covers clinically important regions but not all possible genetic variations. Sensitivity for certain structural rearrangements and complex sequences may be reduced. Not all non-coding regions are included. Sequence changes in less accessible genomic areas may not be guaranteed. In rare cases, analyzed DNA may not represent the constitutional genome due to conditions like hematolymphoid neoplasm or bone marrow transplant.
