Test ID: HPGP    
Hereditary Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma Multi Gene Panel

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Providing a comprehensive evaluation for paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma in patients with a personal or family history suggestive of a hereditary paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma syndrome

 

Serving as a second-tier test for patients in whom previous targeted gene variant analyses for specific hereditary paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma-related genes were negative

 

Establishing a diagnosis of a hereditary paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma syndrome in some cases, allowing for targeted cancer surveillance of associated tissues and organs known to be at increased risk for tumor or cancer

 

Identifying variants within genes known to be associated with increased risk for paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma allowing for predictive testing of at-risk family members

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

This test includes next-generation sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification to evaluate for the genes listed on the panel.

 

Sanger sequencing may also be performed to confirm detected variants.

 

The RET gene is not included in the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) portion of the test.

Method Name A short description of the method used to perform the test

Long-range PCR amplification of targeted genes followed by next-generation sequencing and gene dosage analysis by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Confirmations are performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing.

NY State Available Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.
