Schwannomatosis Panel
Use
This test is intended for individuals who have clinical or suspected diagnoses of schwannomatosis or NF2-related schwannomatosis. It is also suitable for individuals displaying features such as bilateral vestibular schwannomas accompanied by tinnitus, hearing loss, and balance dysfunction. Additionally, it is for individuals presenting NF2-like characteristics without bilateral vestibular schwannomas, as well as children with retinal hamartoma, optic nerve thickening, cortical wedge cataracts, or unexplained third cranial nerve palsy. It targets individuals who experience symptom onset from the second to fourth decades of life.
Special Instructions
Eligible patients may consider targeted family testing and additional testing options following test reporting. STAT testing is available, adding a surcharge if expedited reporting is necessary.
Limitations
This test has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. Given the complexity of schwannomatosis and related conditions, the detection accuracy is highly reliant on genetic variability and clinical presentations. Results interpretation is confined to the genes analyzed.
