Background Information for Cystic Fibrosis (CFTR) Sequencing: Characteristics: Chronic sino-pulmonary disease, gastrointestinal malabsorption/pancreatic insufficiency and obstructive azoospermia; atypical cystic fibrosis is often limited to a single organ system. Incidence: 1 in 3000 Caucasians or Ashkenazi Jewish, 1 in 8000 Hispanics, 1 in 15,000 African Americans, 1 in 32,000 Asians. Inheritance: Autosomal recessive. Penetrance: High for severe mutations, variable for mild mutations. Cause: Two CFTR gene mutations on different chromosomes; atypical CF often caused by two mild mutations, one mutation and one variant or a severe mutation and a variant. Mutations Detected: Point mutations and small insertions/deletions within the coding region and intron/exon boundaries. Methods: Bidirectional sequencing of the entire CFTR coding region and intron/exon boundaries. Analytical Sensitivity and Specificity: 99%. Clinical Sensitivity: 97% Limitations: Large gene deletions/duplications will not be detected. Counseling and informed consent are recommended for genetic testing. Consent forms are available online at www.aruplab.com. Please refer to Statement C in the Compliance Statements section in the front of the Laboratory Test Directory. *ExistInterpData> |
