GENETIC TESTING
Genetic sequencing:
Personalized medicine's next step
SINGLE GENE SEQUENCING
METHODOLOGY
Sanger Sequencing
- Analysis of Deletions and Duplications (MLPA),
- Fragment Length Analysis/96-capillary 3730xl DNA Analyzer from Applied Biosystems,
- Sequencing of all coding exons of the gene,
- Deletion and duplication analysis
TEST DESCRIPTION
Sanger sequencing is particularly useful for small-scale applications, such as single gene testing. After amplification of the DNA coding segments and adjacent regions via PCR, sequencing is performed using a 96-capillary 3730xl DNA Analyzer from Applied Biosystems
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Tumoral calcinosis, hyperphosphatemic, familial Osteomalacia, tumor-induced
SPECIMEN REQUIREMENTS
1-2 ml of EDTA blood or 1-2 µg genomic DNA is required for analysis
TURNAROUND TIME
Processing time: 2-4 weeks
RELATED TESTS
Somatic Tumor Panel for treatment decision support, Whole Exome Analysis
