Invitae Osteogenesis Imperfecta and Bone Fragility Panel
Use
The Invitae Osteogenesis Imperfecta and Bone Fragility Panel analyzes genes associated with bone fragility disorders such as osteogenesis imperfecta, osteopetrosis, and rickets. Genetic heterogeneity of these conditions complicates diagnosis based solely on phenotype, thus broad panel testing is efficient for evaluating multiple genes under a single indication. Confirming a diagnosis through genetic testing aids in guiding treatment, management, risk assessment, and genetic counseling. Additional unrelated disorders associated with some genes in the panel are not included in the list of disorders tested.

Limitations
The test uses full-gene sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis with NGS technology. It covers coding exons and nearby intronic regions but may not detect structural rearrangements, variants in complex sequences, or fully resolve mosaicism, phasing, or mapping ambiguities. Non-coding variants are selectively analyzed. Single-exon CNV events may be missed due to sequence properties or low-quality data. This is crucial for analyzing extracted genomic DNA from whole blood, and anomalies caused by recent blood transfusion or bone marrow transplant might not reflect the constitutional genome.
