Invitae Ellis-van Creveld and Weyers Acrofacial Dysostosis Panel
Use
The Invitae Ellis-van Creveld and Weyers Acrofacial Dysostosis Panel analyzes two genes associated with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EvC) and Weyers acrofacial dysostosis (WAD). These disorders are characterized by variable developmental defects in the skeletal system, ectoderm, and cardiovascular system. Genetic testing may confirm a diagnosis and guide treatment decisions. Identification of a disease-causing variant can inform recurrence-risk assessment and genetic counseling.
Special Instructions
Contact client services for questions regarding any limitations in the analysis of these genes. The report reflects analysis of an extracted genomic DNA sample. Blood transfusions or recent medical treatments may affect DNA representation of the patient's genome.
Limitations
The assay achieves >99% analytical sensitivity and specificity for single nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions <15bp, and exon-level deletions/duplications. Sensitivity for larger insertions/deletions may be marginally reduced. Structural rearrangements and variants in non-clinically validated regions may not be detected. Mosaicism, phasing, or mapping ambiguity may not be fully resolved.
