Invitae Mucopolysaccharidoses Plus (MPS+) Panel

Test code: 06185

Sponsored testing

In addition to insurance and patient-pay billing options, this test is also available through a sponsored, no-charge testing program.

Test description

The Invitae Mucopolysaccharidoses Plus (MPS+) Panel analyzes genes associated with mucopolysaccharidoses, mucolipidoses, and oligosaccharidoses. This panel may be appropriate for individuals with signs and symptoms of mucopolysaccharidosis, such as coarse facial features, progressive cognitive disability, inguinal and/or umbilical hernias, hepatosplenomegaly, cardiac valve dysfunction, recurrent ear and respiratory infections, corneal clouding, and skeletal deformities. Phenotypic features of the mucopolysaccharidoses can overlap with certain mucolipidoses and oligosaccharidoses. Additionally, this panel may be appropriate for those in whom an MPS, mucolipidosis, or oligosaccharidosis is suspected due to biochemical findings or abnormal newborn screening results. Genetic testing of these genes may confirm a diagnosis and help guide treatment and management decisions.

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.
