Pricing Comments
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
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
Hereditary forms of distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) result from impaired acid excretion at intercalated cells in the collecting tubules and are characterized by hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis without bicarbonaturia or diarrhea (Alper 2010; Batlle et al. 2012). Common clinical features include retarded growth, osteomalacia, hypercalciuria, hypocitraturia, nephrocalcinosis, polyuria and hypokalemia. To date, known genetic defects for dRTA have found in genes encoding acid–base transporters including the basolateral anion exchanger 1 (AE1), the cytosolic carbonic anhydrase II (CA2), and the B1-subunit (ATP6V1B1) and A4 subunit (ATP6V0A4) of the vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). Hearing loss presents in approximately one-third of patients due to defects in subunits of the V-ATPase. Recessive ATP6V1B1 pathogenic variants cause dRTA with congenital or early onset sensorineural deafness (Karet et al. 1999; Stover et al. 2002). The majority of this type of dRTA are diagnosed by age 1. Hearing loss is mostly diagnosed by age 3.
Genetics
Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) with sensorineural deafness is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by ATP6V1B1 pathogenic variants (Karet et al. 1999; Stover et al. 2002). The ATP6V1B1 gene has 14 coding exons that encode the B1-subunit of the vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase), which regulates distal nephron acid secretion and also maintains the proper pH of the fluid in the inner ear. Genetic defects of ATP6V1B1 found to date include missense, nonsense, splicing mutations and small deletion/insertions (Human Gene Mutation Database). Exon-level large deletions involving ATP6V1B1 have not been reported.
Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PG-Select
In the original study that identified ATP6V1B1 pathogenic variants in autosomal recessive dRTA, Karet et al. studied 31 unrelated kindreds (27 had family history of consanguineous marriage) and found ATP6V1B1 pathogenic variants in 19 (61%) cases (Karet et al. 1999).
In another study of 26 patients with autosomal recessive dRTA, of which 23 are consanguineous, ATP6V1B1 pathogenic variants were found in 10 (38%) cases (Stover et al. 2002).
Testing Strategy
This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the ATP6V1B1 gene, plus ~10 bases of flanking noncoding DNA. We define full coverage as >20X NGS reads or Sanger sequencing.
Indications for Test
Candidates for this test are patients with dRTA with congenital or early onset sensorineural deafness. Testing is also indicated for family members of patients who have known mutations in the ATP6V1B1 gene. This test may also be considered for the reproductive partners of individuals who carry pathogenic variants in ATP6V1B1.
