Important Information

Test is designed to identify a contiguous gene deletion involving PKD1 and TSC2, not to identify sequencing and exon-level copy number variants of TSC2. Sequencing of the PKD1 gene is challenging due to high homology with six known pseudogenes (exons 1-33). Our NGS assay is specifically designed to provide superior mapping quality and uniform coverage across the coding region of PKD1, enabling robust detection of variants including indels. For mapping quality of >20, 99.7% of the targeted nucleotides have a mean coverage of 264 reads; even at a mapping quality of >40, mean coverage is 254x. PKD1 variants are confirmed by long-range, nested PCR and capillary sequencing. For Deletion/Duplication analysis, Multiplex Ligaton-Dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) is performed.
