Pricing Comments

Our favored testing approach is exome based NextGen sequencing with CNV analysis. This will allow cost effective reflexing to PGxome or other exome based tests. However, if full gene Sanger sequencing is desired for STAT turnaround time, insurance, or other reasons, please see link below for Test Code, pricing, and turnaround time information. If the Sanger option is selected, CNV detection may be ordered through Test #600.

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

Turnaround Time

3 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

Deficiency of Interleukin 36 Receptor Antagonist Deficiency (DITRA) is an autoinflammatory disease with patients developing recurrent erythematous rashes and fevers with onset typically occurring between birth and 10 years of age. Secondary skin infections, diarrhea, dysphagia, asthenia and failure to thrive have also been reported (Sanchez et al. 2013; Marrakchi et al. 2011). Genetic testing is helpful in the differential diagnosis of DITRA from other psoriasis conditions including CARD14 mediated psoriasis (CAMPS) as well as other periodic fever syndromes. Treatment for patients with DITRA includes IL1 receptor antagonists such as anakinra and IL17 inhibition (Rossi-Semerano et. al. 2013; Sanchez et al. 2013).

Genetics

DITRA is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner through pathogenic variants in the IL36RN gene. The majority of pathogenic variants to date are missense and occur throughout the coding region. Small deletions, splice site, and nonsense changes have also been reported (Farooq et al. 2013; Hussain et al. 2015). A p.Leu27Pro change has been reported as a founder variant found within Tunisian populations (Marrakchi et al. 2011). The IL36RN gene encodes the interleukin 36 receptor antagonist and is responsible for regulating inflammatory responses. Missense changes, such as p.Leu27Pro, have been shown to result in unregulated secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL8 in keratinocytes leading to pustular psoriasis (Marrakchi et al. 2011).

Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PGxome

Clinical sensitivity cannot be estimated because only a small number of cases have been reported to date. Analytical sensitivity should be high as all pathogenic variants reported to date are detectable by sequencing.

Testing Strategy

This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the IL36RN gene plus 10 bases of flanking noncoding DNA in all available transcripts along with other non-coding regions in which pathogenic variants have been identified at PreventionGenetics or reported elsewhere. We define full coverage as >20X NGS reads or Sanger sequencing. PGnome panels typically provide slightly increased coverage over the PGxome equivalent. PGnome sequencing panels have the added benefit of additional analysis and reporting of deep intronic regions (where applicable).

Dependent on the sequencing backbone selected for this testing, discounted reflex testing to any other similar backbone-based test is available (i.e., PGxome panel to whole PGxome; PGnome panel to whole PGnome).

Indications for Test

Candidates for testing present with recurrent pustular psoriasis, high fevers, asthenia, increased c-reactive protein and leukocytosis. Patients also present with elevated proinflammatory cytokines due to impaired of IL36 receptor antagonist function (Sanchez et al. 2013). This test may also be considered for the reproductive partners of individuals who carry pathogenic variants in IL36RN.

Ordering Options

We offer several options when ordering sequencing tests. For more information on these options, see our Ordering Instructions page. To view available options, click on the Order Options button within the test description.

myPrevent - Online Ordering

  • The test can be added to your online orders in the Summary and Pricing section.
  • Once the test has been added log in to myPrevent to fill out an online requisition form.
  • PGnome sequencing panels can be ordered via the myPrevent portal only at this time.

Requisition Form

  • A completed requisition form must accompany all specimens.
  • Billing information along with specimen and shipping instructions are within the requisition form.
  • All testing must be ordered by a qualified healthcare provider.

For Requisition Forms, visit our Forms page

If ordering a Duo or Trio test, the proband and all comparator samples are required to initiate testing. If we do not receive all required samples for the test ordered within 21 days, we will convert the order to the most effective testing strategy with the samples available. Prior authorization and/or billing in place may be impacted by a change in test code.
