Invitae Hyper IgM Syndrome Panel
Use
The Invitae Hyper IgM Syndrome Panel analyzes genes associated with hyper IgM. This panel helps confirm a diagnosis of hyper IgM syndrome in individuals with recurrent respiratory or opportunistic infections and normal to increased levels of immunoglobulin M (IgM). Hyper IgM syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by defective class-switch recombination and somatic hypermutation. Affected individuals often present with respiratory and opportunistic infections, pneumonia, and growth failure due to recurrent diarrhea. Other symptoms include neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, neurological complications, liver disease, and an increased risk of certain malignancies.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The assay achieves >99% analytical sensitivity and specificity for SNVs, insertions, and deletions <15bp, and exon-level deletions and duplications. Sensitivity might be reduced for larger insertions/deletions smaller than a full exon. Structural rearrangements or variants in complex architectures may not be detected. Situations like bone marrow transplant or recent blood transfusion may affect the analyzed DNA.
