Invitae Epidermolysis Bullosa and Palmoplantar Keratoderma Panel
Use
The Invitae Epidermolysis Bullosa and Palmoplantar Keratoderma Panel analyzes genes associated with epidermolysis bullosa and palmoplantar keratoderma. These conditions are characterized by skin fragility or thickening of the skin on palms and soles. Genetic testing may confirm a diagnosis, guide treatment and management, and inform recurrence-risk assessment and genetic counseling.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The assay may have reduced sensitivity for large insertions/deletions larger than 15bp but smaller than a full exon. In rare situations, single-exon copy events may not be analyzed due to inherent sequence properties. Structural rearrangements and variants in complex sequence architectures may not be detected. Certain non-coding regions are generally not covered unless explicitly guaranteed.
