Test Overview
Test Methodology

NOG (exonic and intronic splice site consensus) sequences are amplfied using specific primers and bidirectionally sequenced using a fluorescent method.

Test Usage

Confirmation of a diagnosis of Proximal Symphalangism (SYM1, OMIM # 185800) or Multiple Synostoses Syndrome 1 (SYNS1, OMIM #186500). NOG mutation analysis is also useful in the diagnosis of Tarsal-Carpal Coalition Syndrome (OMIM #186570), Stapes Ankylosis with broad thumbs and toes and without Symphalangism (OMIM #184460), and Brachydactyly Type B2 (BDB2, OMIM #611377).

Reference Range *

Interpretive report provided.

* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.

Test Limitations

This assay will not detect large deletions in the NOG gene or intronic mutations outside the region sequenced in the NOG gene; in addition, mutations in the NOG gene (other than the common large deletions analyzed) or mutations in other genes associated with the disease will not be identified.
