Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID Including Omenn Syndrome): Nine-gene Profile (IL2RG, JAK3, RAG1, RAG2, IL7R, ADA, CD3D, CD3E, DCLRE1C [Artemis]) (Full Gene Sequencing)
Use
Confirm a clinical diagnosis of SCID; detect carriers; allow early diagnosis in family members
Special Instructions
Test orders must include an attestation of informed consent for genetic testing. Submit the result report of the first patient tested in the case of family tests (the index case) if not performed at a LabCorp facility. Other family members are subsequently tested for the specific mutation found in the first patient.
Limitations
This method may not reliably detect mosaic variants, large deletions, duplications, inversions or other rearrangements, or deep intronic variants. It may be affected by allele-dropout and may not allow determination of the exact numbers of T/A or microsatellite repeats. It does not conclude whether two heterozygous variants are present on the same or different chromosome copies.
