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.

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
Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome (also called Inherited Systemic Hyaline) is abnormal hyaline deposition in subcutaneous tissue. The disease is characterized by skin nodules, gingival hypertrophy, progressive joint contractures, and severe pain with movement during the first few years of life. Children with the severe form (previously called infantile systemic hyalinosis) often die in early childhood; some with a milder form (previously called juvenile hyaline fibromatosis) can survive into adulthood. The recurrent skin lesions usually occur on the hands, scalp, and ears and around the nose (Hank et al. 2003; Shieh et al. 2013).
Genetics
Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. ANTXR2 protein coded by ANTXR2 (also called Capillary Morphogenesis Gene 2) is a receptor for anthrax toxin and plays a role in basement membrane matrix assembly and endothelial cell morphogenesis. ~ 40 unique pathogenic variants have been reported. They are: missense (42%), nonsense (8%), splicing (22%), small deletion/duplication (22%), and large deletion (6%) (Hank et al. 2003; Shieh et al. 2013, Deuquet et al. 2011; Denadai et al. 2012).
Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PGxome
ANTXR2 pathogenic variants were identified in 17 out of 18 studied families affected with Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome (Hank et al. 2003). Only two large deletions have been reported (Denadai et al. 2012; Human Gene Mutation Database).
Testing Strategy
This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the ANTXR2 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 Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome and the family members of patients who have known ANTXR2 pathogenic variants. This test may also be considered for the reproductive partners of individuals who carry pathogenic variants in ANTXR2.
