Useful For
Confirmation of a clinical diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
Differentiating between the different subtypes of EDS for diagnosis and management purposes
Ascertaining carrier status of family members of individuals diagnosed with EDS for genetic counseling purposes
Genetics Test Information
This test includes next-generation sequencing with deletion/duplication (copy number variation) analysis and supplemental Sanger sequencing to evaluate for variants in the ADAMTS2, ATP7A, CHST14, COL1A1, COL1A2, COL3A1, COL5A1, COL5A2, FKBP14, FLNA, PLOD1, and SLC39A13 genes.
Identification of a pathogenic variant may assist with prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling.
