Invitae Farber Lipogranulomatosis Test
Use
The Invitae Farber Lipogranulomatosis Test analyzes the ASAH1 gene, which is associated with Farber lipogranulomatosis. This test is useful for the diagnosis of patients in whom Farber lipogranulomatosis is suspected due to clinical symptoms or biochemical findings. Identification of disease-causing variants provides accurate risk assessment and carrier status of at-risk relatives.

Limitations
Based on validation study results, this assay achieves >99% analytical sensitivity and specificity for single nucleotide variants, insertions, and deletions <15bp in length, and exon-level deletions and duplications. However, it may not be possible to fully resolve certain details about variants, such as mosaicism, phasing, or mapping ambiguity. Unless explicitly guaranteed, sequence changes in the promoter, non-coding exons, and other non-coding regions are not covered by this assay.
