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.

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

The Sanger Sequencing method for this test is NY State approved.

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

Osteopetrosis (also called Marble bone disease) is a disorder of increased bone density and bone mass caused by malfunction of bone resorption. Affected patients are at high risk of frequent bone fractures, delayed healing, hip osteoarthritis and osteomyelitis. Some patients may have vision loss, hearing loss, and paralysis of facial muscles and bone marrow abnormalities caused by abnormal dense bone structure. Other features include short stature, development delay, dental abnormalities, hepatosplenomegaly, intellectual disability, and epilepsy (Tolar et al. 2004; Del Fattore et al. 2008; Sobacchi et al. 2013). Osteopetrosis is currently known to be caused by mutations in the following genes: CLCN7, LRP5, TCIRG1, TNFSF11, CA2, OSTM1, PLEKHM1, SNX10 and TNFRSF11A.

Genetics

Pathogenic variants in the SNX10 gene can cause autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (also called Västerbottenian osteopetrosis). The SNX10 protein coded by the SNX10 gene is a member of the sorting nexin family that regulates vesicle-mediated protein trafficking. To date, only 10 unique pathogenic variants have been reported. They are: missense (4), nonsense (3) and splicing (3) (Aker et al. 2012; Pangrazio et al. 2013; Human Gene Mutation Database).

Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PGxome

In one study, SNX10 pathogenic variants were identified in 4% of 310 clinically diagnosed osteopetrosis cases (Pangrazio et al. 2013). No large deletions/duplications have been reported (Pangrazio et al. 2013, Human Gene Mutation Database).

Testing Strategy

This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the SNX10 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 this test are patients with symptoms consistent with osteopetrosis and the family members of patients who have known SNX10 pathogenic variants. This test may also be considered for the reproductive partners of individuals who carry pathogenic variants in SNX10.
