Bartter Syndrome Gene Panel
Use
Provides a genetic evaluation for patients with a personal or family history suggestive of Bartter syndrome and helps establish a diagnosis. Identification of a disease‑causing variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Next‑generation sequencing may not detect all variant types; depth of coverage may vary and failed regions will be noted. Negative results do not rule out diagnosis. Regions with technical limitations (e.g., CNV exon 20 in CLCNKB) exist; see methodology document. Confirmation of select variants by alternative methods may occur. Variant reclassification is not routinely performed.
