Invitae Campomelic Dysplasia Test

Test code: 04712 •

Test description

The Invitae Campomelic Dysplasia Test analyzes the SOX9 gene. This gene provides instructions on making a protein that regulates the development of the skeletal system and reproductive organs. Pathogenic variants in SOX9 are associated with campomelic dysplasia (CD) and can result in abnormal development of the skeletal and reproductive systems as well as other parts of the body.

A genetic diagnosis of campomelic dysplasia can guide medical management and help predict disease progression and outcome for the patient. It can also facilitate a swift uptake of treatment in the neonatal period.

Disorders tested

  • campomelic dysplasia (CD)
    • acampomelic campomelic dysplasia — individuals who have features of campomelic dysplasia but do not have bowed limbs

Clinical description and sensitivity

Clinical description:

Campomelic dysplasia (CD) is a disorder that affects skeletal development, resulting in multiple skeletal abnormalities. These abnormalities include the shortening and bowing of the long bones in the limbs, progressive scoliosis, cervical spine compression, clubfeet, and a distinctive set of facial features known as Pierre-Robin sequence. Affected individuals may also present with symptoms affecting other body systems, including congenital laryngotracheomalacia and ambiguous genitalia. CD has a variable clinical presentation; not all affected individuals will present with all of these symptoms. Individuals with CD do not often live beyond the newborn period.

Clinical sensitivity:


Approximately 95% of patients with campomelic dysplasia have a pathogenic variant in the SOX9 gene.

Assay information

Invitae is a College of American Pathologists (CAP)-accredited and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified clinical diagnostic laboratory performing full-gene sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis using next-generation sequencing technology (NGS).

Our sequence analysis covers clinically important regions of each gene, including coding exons and 10 to 20 base pairs of adjacent intronic sequence on either side of the coding exons in the transcript listed below, depending on the specific gene or test. In addition, the analysis covers select non-coding variants. Any variants that fall outside these regions are not analyzed. Any limitations in the analysis of these genes will be listed on the report. Contact client services with any questions.

Based on validation study results, this assay achieves >99% analytical sensitivity and specificity for single nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions <15bp in length, and exon-level deletions and duplications. Invitae's methods also detect insertions and deletions larger than 15bp but smaller than a full exon but sensitivity for these may be marginally reduced. Invitae’s deletion/duplication analysis determines copy number at a single exon resolution at virtually all targeted exons. However, in rare situations, single-exon copy number events may not be analyzed due to inherent sequence properties or isolated reduction in data quality. Certain types of variants, such as structural rearrangements (e.g. inversions, gene conversion events, translocations, etc.) or variants embedded in sequence with complex architecture (e.g. short tandem repeats or segmental duplications), may not be detected. Additionally, it may not be possible to fully resolve certain details about variants, such as mosaicism, phasing, or mapping ambiguity. Unless explicitly guaranteed, sequence changes in the promoter, non-coding exons, and other non-coding regions are not covered by this assay. Please consult the test definition on our website for details regarding regions or types of variants that are covered or excluded for this test. This report reflects the analysis of an extracted genomic DNA sample. In very rare cases, (circulating hematolymphoid neoplasm, bone marrow transplant, recent blood transfusion) the analyzed DNA may not represent the patient's constitutional genome.
