VistaSeq® MEN1 Comprehensive Analysis
Also known as: Familial Cancer testing, Hereditary Cancer testing, Hyperparathyroidism, Inherited Cancer testing, MEN1
Use
This assay is intended for patients with a history consistent with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, type 1.
Special Instructions
A hereditary cancer clinical questionnaire should be submitted with all specimens. Contact CMBP genetic services at 800-345-4363 to coordinate testing. The Oragene Dx 500 saliva collection kit can be ordered using PeopleSoft No. 87917 through your local Labcorp branch supply department.
Limitations
Sequencing cannot detect variants in regions not covered by this analysis, including noncoding or deep intronic variants, and may not reliably detect changes in repetitive elements, such as microsatellite repeats. It may also miss mosaic variants, inversions, or other genomic rearrangements such as transposable element insertions. The assay is not intended to detect somatic variants, and bone marrow transplantation may affect the outcome. The presence of pseudogenes can interfere with detecting variants in certain genes, and copy number analyses may not detect certain genomic rearrangements.
