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.
Testing run on PG-Select capture probes does not include exome-wide CNV analysis. Reflex is available to PGxome or an exome-based panel, or you can use this gene list to create a custom panel (click here).

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
Familial thrombocytopenia with predisposition to acute myelogenous leukemia (FT-AML) is characterized by moderately low platelet counts present from birth (Balduini et al. Haematologica 87:860-880, 2002; Geddis and Kaushansky. Curr Opin Pediatr 16:15-22, 2004). Platelets are of normal size, but patients often have bleeding problems due to small platelet numbers. Although firm numbers are not available from published pedigrees, it appears that greater than one third of affected family members will go on to develop leukemia.
Genetics
FT-AML is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by variants in the RUNX1 gene (also known as CBFA2 or AML1). RUNX1 encodes a transcription factor involved in hematopoiesis. Several causative missense, nonsense, and splicing variants as well as small insertions and deletions have been reported (Song et al. Nat Genet 23:166-175, 1999; Buijs et al. Blood 98:2856-2858, 2001; Michaud et al. Blood 99:1364-1372, 2002). Several large, multi-exon deletions have also been reported (Song et al. 1999; Ripperger et al. Haematologica 96:1892, 2011; Click et al. Am J Med Genet A 155:1673, 2011).
Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PG-Select
Sensitivity of this test is unknown, although affected members of clear, autosomal dominant pedigrees should have a relatively high rate of positive test results.
Testing Strategy
This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the RUNX1 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 symptoms consistent with FT-AML. Positive family history increases the indication for the test.
