Test Background SALL4-related disorders include a spectrum of phenotypes including Duane radial ray syndrome (DRRS), acro-renal-ocular syndrome (AROS), and rarely Holt-Oram syndrome. DRRS is characterized by Duane anomaly and radial ray malformations. AROS is characterized by radial ray malformations, renal abnormalities, and ocular abnormalities such as Duane anomaly. Some individuals may have sensorineural hearing loss.…

Read MoreTest Background Patients with iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia have anemia that does not respond to oral iron therapy, but is partially responsive to parenteral iron administration. The main features include: congenital hypochromic, microcytic anemia; very low mean corpuscular erythrocyte level; low transferrin saturation; abnormal iron absorption marked by no hematological improvement following treatment with oral…

Read MoreTest Background X-linked periventricular heterotopia (also called periventricular nodular heterotopia or PNH) is caused by point mutations or deletions affecting the FLNA gene with presumed loss of function. About 80% of individuals with X-linked periventricular heterotopia have a detectable mutation in the FLNA gene. Most cases of X-linked periventricular heterotopia are caused by point mutations.…
Read MoreTest Background Congenital secretory chloride diarrhea is characterized by chronic secretory diarrhea with an excess of chloride. Onset occurs prenatally causing complications such as polyhydramnios, preterm delivery, and lack of meconium at birth. Postnatal complications include dehydration, hypocholermic and hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, and failure to thrive. If untreated, it leads to impaired renal function, nephrocalcinosis,…
Read MoreTest Background Deletions in this region have variable expressivity ranging from individuals with mild to moderate intellectual disability, microcephaly, neuropsychiatric disorders, cardiac abnormalities, and cataracts to individuals who are more mildly affected or unaffected. In some cases the deletion was inherited and in others it was de novo. Duplications in this region have variable expressivity…
Read MoreTest Background PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome (PHTS) includes Cowden syndrome (CS), Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba (BRR), Proteus syndrome (PS), and Proteus-like syndrome. CS is characterized by benign and malignant tumors of the breast, thyroid, and endometrium. Individuals with CS typically have macrocephaly and have an increased chance for developing breast, thyroid, and endometrial cancer. BRR is characterized by…
