Craniofacial Malformations Panel
Use
This test is designed for individuals with a clinical or suspected diagnosis of craniofacial dysostosis or malformation. The panel consists of 19 genes relevant to these conditions and aims to assist in the genetic evaluation and clinical management of affected patients. The identification of a genetic mutation can contribute to a definitive diagnosis and potentially guide treatment options.

Limitations
The Craniofacial Malformations Panel may not detect all possible mutations in the included genes. Variants of unknown significance may pose challenges in interpretation. This panel is focused on craniofacial-related genes, and conditions unrelated to this phenotype may not be covered. Additionally, limitations inherent to NGS, such as difficulty in detecting large structural variants, may affect results. Negative results do not rule out a genetic cause that could be in untested genes or regions.
