Invitae Hereditary Sarcoma Panel
Use
The Invitae Hereditary Sarcoma Panel is designed to analyze genes associated with a predisposition to developing sarcomas, which are connective tissue or bone tumors. By testing for multiple genes, this panel helps in confirming clinical diagnoses, predicting disease progression, and supporting family planning and genetic counseling. It also aids in enrollment to clinical trials and facilitating early detection of symptoms. Given the genetic heterogeneity of sarcomas, broad testing helps in evaluating several potential genes based on clinical indications.

Limitations
The assay targets clinically important regions, including coding exons and some intronic sequences. Structural rearrangements, detailed sequence characteristics, and non-coding variants outside specified regions are generally not analyzed. While the test achieves high analytical sensitivity and specificity, certain variants like structural rearrangements or mosaicism may not be detected. Limitations due to sequence properties or data quality are possible, and some sequence details may remain unresolved.
