MSH6 Deletion/Duplication Analysis

Also known as: Lynch Syndrome

Clinical Use

Order Test

Use

This test is intended for individuals who have had previous negative sequencing of the MSH6 gene and have not had previous deletion/duplication analysis or who have a family member with an identified large deletion or duplication of the MSH6 gene. If testing for a known family mutation, please submit a copy of the laboratory report from the index family member documenting the familial mutation.

Special Instructions

If testing for a known family mutation, please submit a copy of the laboratory report from the index family member documenting the familial mutation.

Limitations

The assay is not designed to detect certain genomic rearrangements such as translocations (balanced or unbalanced), inversions, or some partial exon rearrangements. It cannot determine the exact breakpoints of detected deletions or duplications. This test is not intended to detect somatic variants. Results can be affected by bone marrow transplantation.
