Invitae Purine Metabolism Disorders Panel
Use
The Invitae Purine Metabolism Disorders Panel analyzes genes associated with abnormalities in the synthesis, interconversion, and degradation of purines, adenine, and guanine. This test helps confirm a diagnosis and guides treatment and management decisions for disorders involving gout, anemia, epilepsy, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, kidney problems, and immune deficiencies. Identification of disease-causing variants provides accurate risk assessment and determines carrier status in at-risk relatives.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
>99% analytical sensitivity and specificity for SNVs, indels <15bp, and exon-level deletions/duplications. Larger indels (<15bp) marginally less sensitive. Single-exon copy number events may not always be analyzed. Structural rearrangements (e.g., inversions, translocations) and certain variants in complex sequences might not be detected. Sequence changes in promoters and non-coding regions are usually not covered.
