Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer Syndrome, FH, Full Gene Analysis, Varies
Use
This test is useful for evaluating patients with a personal or family history that suggests hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) syndrome or fumarate hydratase deficiency (FHD). Establishing a diagnosis of HLRCC or FHD through this test allows for targeted surveillance based on associated risks. It is also significant for identifying genetic variants that increase risk for HLRCC syndrome, enabling predictive testing of at-risk family members.

Limitations
Next-generation sequencing may not detect all types of genomic variants. False-negative or false-positive results may occur, especially in regions of homology, high GC content, or repetitive sequences. Depth of coverage may vary, and assay performance below criteria will be noted in the report. Technical limitations include reduced detection capacity for certain deletion-insertions and ability to sequence through regions with complex genomic structures. Misinterpretation of results without complete clinical information is a risk.
