Pricing Comments

CNV detection may be ordered through Test #600. This test is also offered via our exome backbone with CNV detection (click here). The exome-based test may be higher priced, but permits reflex to the entire exome or to any other set of clinically relevant genes.

An additional 25% charge will be applied to STAT orders. STAT orders are prioritized throughout the testing process.

Turnaround Time

4 weeks on average for standard orders or 2 weeks on average for STAT orders.

Please note: Once the testing process begins, an Estimated Report Date (ERD) range will be displayed in the portal. This is the most accurate prediction of when your report will be complete and may differ from the average TAT published on our website. About 85% of our tests will be reported within or before the ERD range. We will notify you of significant delays or holds which will impact the ERD. Learn more about turnaround times here.

Clinical Features and Genetics

Clinical Features

Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS), also known as Shwachman-Bodian syndrome, is characterized by exocrine pancreatic dysfunction, bone marrow failure and skeletal abnormalities (Dall’Oca et al. 2012). The pancreatic dysfunction causes malabsorption, malnutrition and growth failure. Other features include short stature, hepatomegaly, recurrent infections, and bone abnormalities such as bone age delay, metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, and generalized osteopenia. Hematologic abnormalities cause single or multiple lineage cytopenia, such as neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia or pancytopenia (Rommens and Durie 2008). A diagnosis of SDS also increases an individual's susceptibility to myleodysplasia syndrome (MDS), and acute myelogenous leukemia (Burroughs et al. 2009). Its prevalence is 1:76,000 births with no specific ethnic predilection (Rommens and Durie 2008).

Genetics

Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the SBDS gene. SBDS encodes a protein that is involved in ribosome biogenesis and mitotic spindle stabilization (Burroughs et al. 2009). Most parents of an affected individual are carriers of an SBDS mutation, however de novo mutations have been reported (Rommens and Durie 2008). Approximately 90% of the reported mutations are the result of gene conversion from an adjacent pseudogene, SBDSP, which shares 97% homology with SBDS but does not generate a functional protein (Boocock et al. 2003). Two variants within exon 2 (c.183_184delinsCT and c.258+2T>C) account for 76% of these mutations. Other mutations have been reported, but no genotype-phenotype correlations are known to exist (Rommens and Durie 2008). Up to 10% of patients lack an identifiable SBDS mutation, but can still be diagnosed clinically with SDS (Dall’Oca et al. 2012).

Clinical Sensitivity - Sanger Sequencing

The clinical sensitivity of this test is >90% (Rommens and Durie 2008).

The clinical sensitivity of large deletions and duplications is unknown, but gross deletions have been reported (Donadieu et al. 2012; Costa et al. 2007).

Testing Strategy

This test involves bidirectional DNA Sanger sequencing of all coding exons and ~10 bp of flanking noncoding sequence of the SBDS gene. We will also sequence any single exon (Test #100) or pair of exons (Test #200) in family members of patients with known mutations or to confirm research results.

Indications for Test

Individuals who are suspected of Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome or individuals who have a family history of SDS and want to know their SBDS mutation carrier status. This test may also be considered for the reproductive partners of individuals who carry pathogenic variants in SBDS.
