Invitae Hereditary Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Leukemia Panel
Use
The Invitae Hereditary Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Leukemia Panel analyzes genes associated with hereditary susceptibility to hematologic cancers, including myelodysplasia and acute leukemia. Genetic testing can confirm a clinical diagnosis, predict disease prognosis, facilitate early detection of symptoms, inform family planning, and encourage enrollment in clinical trials. This test is specifically for heritable germline mutations and not for somatic mutations.
Special Instructions

Limitations
This panel does not detect somatic mutations. The test is not suitable for detecting structural rearrangements like inversions or translocations. The sequencing does not cover promoter and some non-coding regions unless specified. The analysis might not resolve details such as mosaicism or phasing. Certain single-exon copy number events might not be analyzed.
