Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID Including Omenn Syndrome): Three-gene Profile (IL2RG, ADA, IL7R) (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 that the provider has obtained the patient's informed consent for genetic testing. For family testing (i.e., known mutations), a copy of the result report of the index case must be submitted if the initial testing wasn't performed at a LabCorp facility.
Limitations
The sequencing method used does not reliably detect mosaic variants, large deletions, duplications, inversions, other rearrangements, or deep intronic variants. It may be affected by allele dropout and may not determine the exact numbers of T/A or microsatellite repeats. The test does not conclude whether two heterozygous variants are present on the same or different chromosome copies.
