FH Index Case - 5 Genes by Sanger
FH Index Case - 5 Genes by Sanger
| Test Code | 9007748 |
| Test Name | FH Index Case - 5 Genes by Sanger |
| Test Method | Sanger Sequencing |
| Brief Description | Genetic diagnosis of FH by Sanger sequencing of LDLR, APOB (exon 26), APOE (exon 4), PCSK9, and LDLRAP1 genes |
| Detailed Description | The test detects genetic variants associated with both forms of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH): Autosomal Dominant Hypercholesterolemia (ADH) and Autosomal Recessive Hypercholesterolemia (ARH). Specifically, the test detects substitutions and indels in the following genetic regions: promoter, exons 1-18 and exon-intron boundaries of LDLR (FH), promoter, exons 1-12 and exon-intron boundaries of PCSK9 (ADH), exons 1-9 and exon-intron boundaries of LDLRAP1 (ARH), segment of APOB exon 26 involved in LDLR binding (Familial Defective APOB), and a segment of APOE exon 4. Identified DNA variants are reported according to a propietary and literature-based reference database. The following mutations are reported: - Mutations associated with ADH or ARH - Hypocholesterolemic mutations - Heterozygous pathogenic, possibly pathogenic or probably pathogenic mutations in LDLRAP1 (carrier status). In these cases, the report will include the following: mutation, gene, amplicon, nucleotide position, amino acid position, pathogenicity (pathogenic, probably pathogenic or possibly pathogenic) and zygosity (homozygous or heterozygous). The following variants are not reported: - Common polymorphisms considered not to have an effect on protein levels or activity - Silent variants and intron variants predicted not to alter mRNA splicing - APOB, APOE, and PCSK9 variants of unknown pathogenicity, since they can be associated with hypercholesterolemia, hypocholesterolemia, or other alterations. A list of unreported variants is available upon request. In these cases, the report will indicate "No Pathogenic Mutations Detected". |
| Clinical Information | FH is a genetic disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterised by high levels of LDLc in plasma and an increased risk of premature heart disease. Genetic testing of FH provides a definitive diagnosis for the disease and offers added value in the form of cascade (family) screening, diagnosis at an early age, personalized treatment based on the severity, and increased compliance with treatment.

FH LDLR Gene by MLPA
FH LDLR Gene by MLPA
| Test Code | 9007749 |
| Test Name | FH LDLR Gene by MLPA |
| Test Method | MLPA |
| Brief Description | Genetic Diagnosis of FH by Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) analysis of the LDLR gene |
| Detailed Description | The test detects genetic mutations in the LDLR gene associated with Autosomal Dominant Hypercholesterolemia (ADH). Specifically, it detects Copy Number Variations (CNVs) such as large deletions and duplications, which account for 5-10% of all LDLR mutations. CNVs can affect one or multiple genetic segments (promoter, exons, introns). For each targeted genetic segment (promoter, exon) two probes hybridized to adjacent sites are ligated into a single one, which is used for subsequently amplification. The amplification products are detected by capillary electrophoresis as fluorescent peaks, and their height compared to that of a reference sequence. Peak height is a measure of copy number, with a decrease indicating deletion and an increase duplication. |

| Test Name | FH Index Case - 5 Genes by NGS |
| Test Method | Next Generation Sequencing |
| Brief Description | Genetic diagnosis of FH by Next Generation sequencing of LDLR, APOB (exon 26), APOE (exon 4), PCSK9 and LDLRAP1 genes |
| Detailed Description | The test detects genetic variants associated with both forms of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH): Autosomal Dominant Hypercholesterolemia (ADH) and Autosomal Recessive Hypercholesterolemia (ARH).

Proprietary data analysis algorithms are used to determine the presence or absence of CNVs. The following mutations are reported: - Mutations associated with ADH or ARH - Hypocholesterolemic mutations - Heterozygous pathogenic, possibly pathogenic or probably pathogenic mutations in LDLRAP1 (carrier status). In these cases, the report will include the following: mutation, gene, amplicon, nucleotide position, amino acid position, pathogenicity (pathogenic, probably pathogenic or possibly pathogenic) and zygosity (homozygous or heterozygous).
