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

Premature Ovarian Failure (POF), also known as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder characterized by primary amenorrhea or loss of menstrual function before the age of 40. Patients with POF often have elevated levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and decreased levels of estrogen (Nelson. 2009. PubMed ID: 19196677). POF, in the most severe form, is a result of ovarian dysgenesis in which pubertal development is also severely affected. Approximately 50% of patients have varying and unpredictable ovarian function, and 5 to 10% of patients with POF may conceive without treatment (Nelson. 2009. PubMed ID: 19196677). There are several causes of premature ovarian failure, including chromosomal abnormalities, pathogenic sequence variants, autoimmune disorder, and environmental factors. POF can be isolated or part of a genetic syndrome (Kovanci and Schutt. 2015. PubMed ID: 25681846).

Genetics

Approximately 10-30% of POF cases have familial inheritance (Vegetti et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9740426; van Kasteren et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10527968). The inheritance can be autosomal recessive, dominant or X-linked. Proteasome 26S subunit, ATPase, 3-Interacting Protein (PSMC3IP) is a nuclear, tissue-specific protein with multiple functions. It is critical for meiotic recombination and acts as a coactivator of ligand dependent transcription mediated by nuclear receptors, including the estrogen receptors (ER) and the androgen receptor. A homozygous 3-bp deletion in the PSMC3IP gene has been reported to be pathogenic in a large consanguineous Arab Palestinian pedigree with hypergonadotropic ovarian dysgenesis (Zangen et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21963259). A homozygous nonsense variant in the PSMC3IP gene has also been reported to be pathogenic in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency (Al-Agha et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29240891).

Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PGxome

This test is predicted to detect pathogenic variants in ~1% of patients with premature ovarian failure (Al-Agha et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29240891).

Testing Strategy

This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the PSMC3IP 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

This test is for patients with premature ovary failure/primary ovarian insufficiency or ovarian dysgenesis. This test may also be considered for the reproductive partners of individuals who carry pathogenic variants in PSMC3IP.

Ordering/Specimens

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.
