Invitae Facial Dysostosis and Frontonasal Dysplasia Panel
Use
The Invitae Facial Dysostosis and Frontonasal Dysplasia Panel analyzes genes associated with facial dysostosis and related disorders, which are genetically heterogeneous and characterized primarily by craniofacial anomalies. The panel provides an efficient evaluation of several potential genes for a single clinical indication, considering the challenge of using phenotype as the sole criterion to determine a definitive cause. Some genes may be associated with additional disorders not covered by this panel.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test analyzes clinically important regions of each gene, including coding exons and adjacent intronic sequences. Variants outside these regions or certain structural rearrangements may not be detected. The assay may not cover promoter regions, non-coding exons, or other non-coding regions. Single-exon copy number events might not be fully analyzed in rare situations. Details about regions or types of variants covered or excluded should be consulted on the website.
