Test Overview
Test Methodology

The coding exons and associated, flanking splice sites of the SOS1 gene are amplified using specific primers, and bidirectionally sequenced using a fluorescent method.

Test Usage

To detect the presence of SOS1 mutations in patients with a diagnosis of Noonan syndrome, particularly if PTPN11 (with or without KRAS) mutation analysis was previously performed, and for carrier testing in families with a known SOS1 mutation. All coding exons and associated flanking splice sites of the SOS1 gene will be sequenced.

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 SOS1 gene or intronic mutations outside the region sequenced in the SOS1 gene. In addition, mutations in other genes associated with Noonan syndrome will not be detected.
