Invitae Hereditary Wilms Tumor Panel
Use
The Invitae Hereditary Wilms Tumor Panel analyzes genes associated with predisposition to Wilms tumor. It allows for efficient evaluation of several potential genes based on a single clinical indication. Genetic testing in these genes can confirm a clinical diagnosis, predict disease prognosis, facilitate early detection of symptoms, inform family planning, or promote enrollment in clinical trials. This panel specifically targets heritable germline mutations and is not intended for detecting somatic mutations in tumor tissue.

Limitations
This panel may not detect structural rearrangements like inversions, translocations, or gene conversion events, and variants in promoter or non-coding regions are generally excluded unless otherwise specified. Single-exon copy number events may not always be analyzed, and certain details like mosaicism or mapping ambiguity may not be fully resolved. The test is not suitable for somatic mutation detection.
