Invitae Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Comprehensive Panel
Use
The Invitae Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Comprehensive Panel analyzes genes associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurological conditions characterized by lower-extremity spastic weakness. These genes were curated based on currently available evidence to provide a comprehensive test for the genetic causes of HSP. Identification of the underlying genetic cause can help confirm a clinical diagnosis, predict disease prognosis and progression, facilitate early detection of symptoms, inform family planning and genetic counseling, or promote enrollment in clinical trials.

Limitations
This assay achieves >99% analytical sensitivity and specificity for single nucleotide variants, insertions, and deletions <15bp in length, and exon-level deletions and duplications. Invitae’s methods also detect larger insertions and deletions, but sensitivity may be reduced. Certain variants, such as structural rearrangements, or variants in complex regions, may not be detected. Some variant details, like mosaicism or phasing, may not be fully resolved. Coverage excludes sequence changes in promoter and non-coding regions unless specified.
