Cleft Lip/Cleft Palate Panel
Use
This test is intended for individuals with features suggestive of syndromic or non-syndromic orofacial clefts, as well as those with a family history of familial orofacial clefting. It can also be useful for persons identified via prenatal ultrasound as having traits consistent with orofacial clefting. The panel encompasses a comprehensive list of genes associated with such conditions, aiding in differential diagnosis and informing clinical management.
Special Instructions
The test can be ordered using DNA extracted from various sources depending on the platform. Patients should follow specific preparation guidelines for optimal results. Special order options include exome-wide CNV analysis at an additional cost, prenatal testing, and STAT testing for expedited results.
Limitations
The test is only as reliable as the DNA sample quality. Variants outside the test's gene list will not be detected. Turnaround times may vary based on the testing platform and order options chosen. Failed samples or samples that do not meet requirements could result in rejection or delayed results.
