Test Code
C5120
Test Name
Skeletal Dysplasia Core & Extended NGS Panel
CPT Codes
81479
Expected Turnaround Time
Typically 2 to 4 weeks from receipt of a sample in the laboratory. All cases involving ongoing pregnancies will be expedited.
Clinical Utility
Genetic analysis to provide a molecular diagnosis of a skeletal dysplasia. This panel is designed to detect mutations in genes responsible for lethal or severe skeletal dysplasias. Signs of a skeletal dysplasia include shortening of bones in the legs and/or arms, bowed or fractured bones, absence of a limb, and abnormalities of the ribs. Recommended for prenatal diagnosis of a skeletal dysplasia and for individuals with a personal and/or family history of a skeletal dysplasia to ensure appropriate treatment and establish recurrence risk for family members.

Description

Genomics offers three options for skeletal dysplasia testing. The core skeletal dysplasia panel is designed to detect mutations in genes responsible for lethal or severe skeletal dysplasias that occur with a high incidence. The extended skeletal dysplasia panel contains genes linked to disorders that are also phenotypically severe but occur less frequently. These two panels may also be ordered as a single combined panel (Skeletal dysplasia core & extended NGS panel). The Skeletal dysplasia core and extended panel may also be combined with the Skeletal ciliopathy NGS panel.

The genes constituting these panels have been selected with input from several clinical geneticists with expertise in the skeletal dysplasia field.
