Ordering Guidance
Patients who have had a previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor should not have testing performed on blood, bone marrow, or saliva because any results generated will reflect the genome of the donor rather than the recipient. Testing on patients who have an active hematologic malignancy or hematologic disorder with clonal proliferation may identify both somatic mutations and germline variants, which may result in test failure or necessitate follow-up testing to determine whether the detected variant is germline or somatic. For these patients, testing a skin biopsy or cultured fibroblasts is recommended. For instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant or have an active hematologic disorder, call 800-533-1710. For more information see Cautions.
For patients with hereditary angioedema with normal C1 inhibitor, see GNANG / Hereditary Angioedema Focused Gene Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies for a smaller panel that includes F12, KNG1, and PLG.
For patients suspected to have complement C3 glomerulopathy or a complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy, also known as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, a different test is recommended. Order AHUGP / Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS)/Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA)/Complement 3 Glomerulopathy (C3G) Gene Panel, Varies.
Customization of this panel and single gene analysis for any gene present on this panel are available. For more information see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies. To modify this panel via CGPH, use the Inborn Errors of Immunity/Bone Marrow Failure/Telomeropathy/Pulmonary Fibrosis/Very Early Onset IBD/Pancreatitis disease state for step 1 on the Custom Gene Ordering Tool.
Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known variants testing) is available for the genes on this panel. See FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.
Additional Testing Requirements
For cord blood specimens: Maternal cell contamination (MCC) studies are available. Order MATCC / Maternal Cell Contamination, Molecular Analysis, Varies on both the cord blood and maternal specimens under separate order numbers. Cord blood testing will proceed without MCC studies, but results may be compromised if MCC is present.

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The complement system is an essential component of the innate immune system, which is present from birth and is responsible for immune mediation and responding to pathogens. Deficiency or dysregulation of the complement system can result in a wide spectrum of clinical presentations depending on the specific component that is impacted. Many complement disorders are due to loss-of-function variants that result in recurrent or chronic bacterial infections and autoimmunity due to complement deficiencies. These disorders are mostly inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Deficiency of complement regulators may result in complement dysregulation (also known as primary immune regulatory disorder: PIRD) such as complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (CM-TMA). For these disorders, order a different gene panel, AHUGP / Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (aHUS)/Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) /Complement 3 Glomerulopathy (C3G) Gene Panel, Varies. This gene panel is focused on complement component deficiencies.
Early classical complement deficiencies (eg, C1, C2) typically present with susceptibility to encapsulated bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae or Haemophilus influenza type b, while C3 deficiency is associated with gram-negative bacteria including Neisseria meningitidis, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Escherichia coli. Individuals with deficiency of the late common pathway (eg, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9) or deficiency of complement factors D and B in the alternative complement pathway have increased susceptibility to bacterial infections, particularly Neisseria infections. In addition, patients with deficiency of the early classical components are at increased risk of autoimmune disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In some individuals, deleterious variants in genes encoding complement inhibitors, such as CFH or CD46, may also be at increased risk of SLE and lupus nephritis. Individuals with C3 deficiency may also develop mesangiocapillary or membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and kidney failure.
Cluster of differentiation 55 (CD55), or complement decay-accelerating factor (DAF), is a cell surface complement regulator. CD55 deficiency is characterized by hyperactivation of complement, angiopathic thrombosis, and protein-losing enteropathy, and is also known as CHAPLE syndrome. This is also an autosomal recessive disorder. For diseases with mainly gastrointestinal presentations, order EOIBD / Early Onset Monogenic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Gene Panel, Varies. For diseases with mainly autoinflammatory presentations, order AUTOG / Autoinflammatory Disorders Gene Panel, Varies.
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and characterized by recurrent episodes of severe swelling of the upper airways, skin, or gastrointestinal tract. These episodes may last from 2 to 5 days and have minimal response to antihistamines, corticosteroids, and epinephrine. HAE is most frequently due to variants in the SERPING1 gene that encodes the C1-inhibitor (C1-INH). C1-INH functions in complement inhibition to prevent spontaneous activation but is also important in inhibition of proteases involved in the fibrinolytic, clotting, and kinin pathways. A subset of individuals with HAE has normal C1-INH, which is associated with variants in F12, KNG1, PLG, and ANGPT1. For a panel targeted to HAE with normal C1-INH, order GNANG / Hereditary Angioedema Focused Gene Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
All detected variants are evaluated according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics recommendations.(1) Variants are classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Clinical Correlations:
Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, family history, and other laboratory data. Misinterpretation of results may occur if the information provided is inaccurate or incomplete.
If testing was performed because of a clinically significant family history, it is often useful to first test an affected family member. Detection of a reportable variant in an affected family member would allow for more informative testing of at-risk individuals.
To discuss the availability of additional testing options or for assistance in the interpretation of these results, contact Mayo Clinic Laboratories genetic counselors at 800-533-1710.
Technical Limitations:
Next-generation sequencing may not detect all types of genomic variants. In rare cases, false-negative or false-positive results may occur. The depth of coverage may be variable for some target regions; assay performance below the minimum acceptable criteria or for failed regions will be noted. Given these limitations, negative results do not rule out the diagnosis of a genetic disorder. If a specific clinical disorder is suspected, evaluation by alternative methods can be considered.
There may be regions of genes that cannot be effectively evaluated by sequencing or deletion and duplication analysis as a result of technical limitations of the assay, including regions of homology, high guanine-cytosine (GC) content, and repetitive sequences. Confirmation of select reportable variants will be performed by alternate methodologies based on internal laboratory criteria.
This test is validated to detect 95% of deletions up to 75 base pairs (bp) and insertions up to 47 bp. Deletions-insertions (delins) of 40 or more bp, including mobile element insertions, may be less reliably detected than smaller delins.
Deletion/Duplication Analysis:
This analysis targets single and multi-exon deletions/duplications; however, in some instances single exon resolution cannot be achieved due to isolated reduction in sequence coverage or inherent genomic complexity. Balanced structural rearrangements (such as translocations and inversions) may not be detected.
This test is not designed to detect low levels of mosaicism or to differentiate between somatic mutations and germline variants. If there is a possibility that any detected variant is somatic, additional testing may be necessary to clarify the significance of results.
Genes may be added or removed based on updated clinical relevance. For the most up to date list of genes included in this test and detailed information regarding gene-specific performance and technical limitations, see Method Description or contact a laboratory genetic counselor.
If the patient has had an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant or a recent non-leukocyte-reduced blood transfusion, results of tests performed on blood, bone marrow, or saliva specimens may be clinically inaccurate due to the presence of donor DNA. Test orders for blood, bone marrow, or saliva will be canceled by the laboratory if there is a history of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Similarly, blood, bone marrow, and saliva results may be impacted by presence of active hematologic malignancy or hematologic disorder with clonal proliferation. Call Mayo Clinic Laboratories for instructions for testing a skin biopsy or fibroblast culture for patients who have received a bone marrow transplant or have an active hematologic disorder.
Reclassification of Variants:
Currently, it is not standard practice for the laboratory to systematically review previously classified variants on a regular basis. The laboratory encourages healthcare professionals to contact the laboratory at any time to learn how the classification of a particular variant may have changed over time. Due to broadening genetic knowledge, it is possible that the laboratory may discover new information of relevance to the patient. Should that occur, the laboratory may issue an amended report.
Variant Evaluation:
Evaluation and categorization of variants are performed using published American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology recommendations as a guideline.(1) Other gene-specific guidelines may also be considered. Variants are classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance. Variants classified as benign or likely benign are not reported.
Multiple in silico evaluation tools may be used to assist in the interpretation of these results. The accuracy of predictions made by in silico evaluation tools is highly dependent upon the data available for a given gene, and periodic updates to these tools may cause predictions to change over time. Results from in silico evaluation tools should be interpreted with caution and professional clinical judgment.
Rarely, incidental or secondary findings may implicate another predisposition or presence of active disease. These findings will be carefully reviewed to determine whether they will be reported.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and/or Sanger sequencing is performed to test for the presence of variants in coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the genes analyzed, as well as some other regions that have known disease-causing variants. The human genome reference GRCh37/hg19 build was used for sequence read alignment. At least 99% of the bases are covered at a read depth over 30X. Sensitivity is estimated at above 99% for single nucleotide variants, above 94% for deletions/insertions (delins) less than 40 base pairs (bp), above 95% for deletions up to 75 bp and insertions up to 47 bp. NGS and/or a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based quantitative method is performed to test for the presence of deletions and duplications in the genes analyzed. A supplemental droplet digital PCR method is used to detect deletions and duplications in C1R.
There may be regions of genes that cannot be effectively evaluated by sequencing or deletion and duplication analysis as a result of technical limitations of the assay, including regions of homology, high guanine-cytosine (GC) content, and repetitive sequences. See Targeted Genes and Methodology Details for Angioedema and Complement Disorders Gene Panel for details regarding the targeted genes analyzed for each test and specific gene regions not routinely covered.(Unpublished Mayo method)
