Exome-based panels for immediate disease identification

What's Panel Testing?

Multigene panels contain genes related to a specific condition. From inborn malformations to adult neuromuscolar diseases, some disorders show similarity in the clinical signs but diversity in the genetic cause.

Our exome-based multigene panels are the perfect match for these conditions.

Tier-testing becomes smarter: as all our panels are based on exome, if the panel is negative, an immediate upgrade can be done to see all the exome, elucidating the differential diagnosis in the blink of an eye!

Not sure if a gene panel is the right starting point?

In some situations, a broader approach such as whole exome sequencing may be more appropriate.

Why PANEL?

A multigene panel built on whole exome sequencing (or optionally whole genome), perfectly suited for seamless upgrade to full exome analysis, if panel genes are negative.

Base capturing for PANEL is Whole Exome Sequencing (upon request, Whole Genome). This grants you an unlimited choice in the genes that you want to include in your panel. Full mitochondrial DNA analysis is also available to be added in the composition of PANEL.

FAQs

Why a panel and not an exome?

Exome sequencing is perfectly fit to solve the cases of diagnostic odyssey. For clearer genetic conditions, with an already definied clinical diagnosis, doing a panel may be faster and more cost-effective. If negative, we can always do the immediate upgrade to the entire exome data to shed light on the differential diagnosis.

How many genes can I include?

You can include up to 300 genes and even the mitochondrial DNA! The price vary based on the numer of genes included.

What are SNVs & CNVs?

SNVs stays for Single Nucleotide Variations. SNVs are consistent with a change of one single nucleotide of the DNA chain and they represent the majority of human disease-causing mutations. They can be perfectly detected by sequencing.

CNVs stays for Copy Number Variations. CNVs are consistent with large deletions or duplications of a piece of a gene. They are rarer than SNVs, although they represent up to 10% of all pathogenic mutations. Whole Exome Sequencing can detect CNV of very different sizes, being even more refined than other CNV-targeted assays such as array-CGH.

What is mtDNA (Mitochondrial DNA)?

The mitochondrial DNA is a small molecule of DNA contained in the mitochondria, which are small cell organelles located in the cytoplasm. The mitochondrial DNA is exclusive of maternal inheritance. Pathogenic mutations in the mtDNA are found in at least 1 in 2.000 exomes. Such mutations can cause severe congenital polysyndromic conditions, like Leigh syndrome, or other diseases like Kearne-Sayres syndrome, Pearsons syndrome and others.

My Doctor knowns the diagnosis. Is the panel OK?

When possible, expert Colleagues already guess the genetic disorder of their patient by simply examining their clinical symptoms and signs (e.g. in certain neuromuscolar disorders or metabolic diseases). In such cases, doing PANEL ANYCAP may be the fastest and most convenient solution to confirm the Colleague’s diagnosis genetically. And, if the panel is negative, we can always upgrade to full exome data analysis. Ask your Doctor to get in touch with us to learn more about PANEL ANYCAP

What's better? Panel or Whole Exome?

This answer highly depends on your Physician’s conviction about your clinical status. If your Doctor is sure about a certain disease caused by well-known underlying genes, then PANEL ANYCAP may be the best solution. If your Doctors hesitates, then wider solutions suh as Whole Exome Sequencing and Whole Genome Sequencing may be better. Ask your Doctor to get in touch with us to learn more about PANEL ANYCAP and alternative solutions for you such as Whole Exome Sequencing and Whole Genome Sequencing.

What are Incidental / Secondary findings?

Incidental findings are pathogenic variants that are not related to the patient’s clinical picture visible at this time. These pathogenic variants may cause severe diseases, which may be prevented by clinical surveillance and/or preventative treatments. The ACMG (American College of Medical Genetics) recommends scanning a specific list of genes for incidental findings in patients undergoing WES. Because this list may be systematically analyzed, incidental findings are also called “secondary findings”. To see the current ACMG list of genes recommended for the scanning of incidental findings, please click here.

What is Carrier Screening?

Carrier Screening is the screening of pathogenic mutations causing autosomal recessive or X-linked recessive diseases. Carrier screening may be limited to known mutations already deposited in the human databases (1st Level) or extended to new mutations identified by bioinformatic algorithms (2nd Level). See the related voices for more information.
