Invitae Hereditary Hyperparathyroidism Panel
Use
The Invitae Hereditary Hyperparathyroidism Panel analyzes genes associated with predisposition to hyperparathyroidism. This genetic test helps confirm a clinical diagnosis, predict disease prognosis and progression, facilitate early detection of symptoms, and inform family planning. It is valuable due to the genetic heterogeneity and clinical overlap of hyperparathyroidism conditions, enabling evaluation of several potential genes based on one clinical indication.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The assay covers clinically important regions of each gene, including coding exons and adjacent intronic sequences. It does not cover some structural rearrangements or complex sequence architectures. The sensitivity is >99% for specific variations, but reduced for some insertions and deletions larger than 15bp or single-exon copy number events due to technical limitations. Certain variants outside specified regions are not analyzed.
