Test Code IEICP Inborn Errors of Immunity Comprehensive Gene Panel, Varies


Ordering Guidance


Patients who have had a previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor should not have testing performed on blood, bone marrow, or saliva because any results generated will reflect the genome of the donor rather than the recipient. Testing on patients who have an active hematologic malignancy or hematologic disorder with clonal proliferation may identify both somatic mutations and germline variants, which may result in test failure or necessitate follow-up testing to determine whether the detected variant is germline or somatic. For these patients, testing a skin biopsy or cultured fibroblasts is recommended. For instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant or have an active hematologic disorder, call 800-533-1710. For more information see Cautions.

 

When the patient has a more specific phenotype, the following smaller, more targeted disease and phenotype-specific panels, which also include supplemental analysis for specific challenging genomic regions, are recommended instead of this comprehensive panel. See more targeted panels:

Phenocopies of inborn errors of immunity exist, some of which are caused by somatic mutations (eg, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome is caused by somatic mutation in TNFRSF6), and some of which are caused by autoantibodies (eg, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis caused by neutralizing autoantibodies against IL-17 or IL-22 cytokines). This test is not designed to detect somatic mutations. If a phenocopy is suspected, contact the laboratory for assistance in test selection.

 

Customization of this panel and single gene analysis for any gene present on this panel are available. For more information see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies. To modify this panel via CGPH, use the Inborn Errors of Immunity/Bone Marrow Failure/Telomeropathy/Pulmonary Fibrosis/Very Early Onset IBD/Pancreatitis disease state for step 1 on the Custom Gene Ordering Tool.

 

Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known variants testing) is available for the genes on this panel. See FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.

Clinical Information

Primary (genetic) immune disorders, also known as primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) or inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), include genetic disorders in which some aspects of the immune system are absent or functionally defective. IEIs often increase the risk or the severity of infections, but they can also manifest with dysregulation, characterized by allergy, autoimmunity, autoinflammation, or malignancy in addition to infections. In some cases, immune dysregulation may be the main feature of the disease. There are now approximately 500 genetically defined IEIs.

 

Currently IEIs are most frequently classified using the system proposed by the International Union of Immunological Societies Expert Committee, which includes 10 major groups based on phenotypes. However, there are significant overlaps in clinical presentation and laboratory findings among these groups of IEIs. This gene panel includes genes from all 10 groups. The comprehensive panel approach is recommended when the phenotype cannot be clearly assigned to one of the more specific gene panels. While exome or genome sequencing may be considered, a subset of genes remain technically challenging with short-read next-generation sequencing chemistry. The comprehensive panel focuses on genes known to be important for immunodeficiency, along with immune dysregulation, and includes supplemental analyses to provide a more complete test for the interrogated genes.

Reference Values

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation

All detected variants are evaluated according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics recommendations.(1) Variants are classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.

Cautions

Clinical Correlations:

Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, family history, and other laboratory data. Misinterpretation of results may occur if the information provided is inaccurate or incomplete.

 

If testing was performed because of a clinically significant family history, it is often useful to first test an affected family member. Detection of a reportable variant in an affected family member would allow for more informative testing of at-risk individuals.

 

To discuss the availability of additional testing options or for assistance in the interpretation of these results, contact Mayo Clinic Laboratories genetic counselors at 800-533-1710.

 

Technical Limitations:

Next-generation sequencing may not detect all types of genomic variants. In rare cases, false-negative or false-positive results may occur. The depth of coverage may be variable for some target regions; assay performance below the minimum acceptable criteria or for failed regions will be noted. Given these limitations, negative results do not rule out the diagnosis of a genetic disorder. If a specific clinical disorder is suspected, evaluation by alternative methods can be considered.

 

There may be regions of genes that cannot be effectively evaluated by sequencing or deletion and duplication analysis as a result of technical limitations of the assay, including regions of homology, high guanine-cytosine (GC) content, and repetitive sequences. Confirmation of select reportable variants will be performed by alternate methodologies based on internal laboratory criteria.

 

This test is validated to detect 95% of deletions up to 75 base pairs (bp) and insertions up to 47 bp. Deletions-insertions (delins) of 40 or more bp, including mobile element insertions, may be less reliably detected than smaller delins.

 

Deletion/Duplication Analysis:

This analysis targets single and multi-exon deletions/duplications; however, in some instances single exon resolution cannot be achieved due to isolated reduction in sequence coverage or inherent genomic complexity. Balanced structural rearrangements (such as translocations and inversions) may not be detected.

 

This test is not designed to detect low levels of mosaicism or to differentiate between somatic mutations and germline variants. If there is a possibility that any detected variant is somatic, additional testing may be necessary to clarify the significance of results.

 

Genes may be added or removed based on updated clinical relevance. For the most up to date list of genes included in this test and for detailed information regarding gene specific performance and technical limitations, see Method Description or contact a laboratory genetic counselor.

 

If the patient has had an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant or a recent non-leukocyte reduced blood transfusion, results of tests performed on blood, bone marrow, or saliva specimens may be clinically inaccurate due to the presence of donor DNA. Test orders for blood, bone marrow, or saliva will be canceled by the laboratory if there is a history of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Similarly, blood, bone marrow, and saliva results may be impacted by presence of active hematologic malignancy or hematologic disorder with clonal proliferation. Call Mayo Clinic Laboratories for instructions for testing a skin biopsy or fibroblast culture for patients who have received a bone marrow transplant or have an active hematologic disorder.

 

Reclassification of Variants:

Currently, it is not standard practice for the laboratory to systematically review previously classified variants on a regular basis. The laboratory encourages healthcare professionals to contact the laboratory at any time to learn how the classification of a particular variant may have changed over time. Due to broadening genetic knowledge, it is possible that the laboratory may discover new information of relevance to the patient. Should that occur, the laboratory may issue an amended report.

 

Variant Evaluation:

Evaluation and categorization of variants are performed using published American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology recommendations as a guideline,(1) Other gene-specific guidelines may also be considered. Variants are classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance. Variants classified as benign or likely benign are not reported.

 

Multiple in silico evaluation tools may be used to assist in the interpretation of these results. The accuracy of predictions made by in silico evaluation tools is highly dependent upon the data available for a given gene, and periodic updates to these tools may cause predictions to change over time. Results from in silico evaluation tools should be interpreted with caution and professional clinical judgment.

 

Rarely, incidental or secondary findings may implicate another predisposition or presence of active disease. These findings will be carefully reviewed to determine whether they will be reported.

Method Description

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and/or Sanger sequencing is performed to test for the presence of variants in coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the genes analyzed, as well as some other regions that have known disease-causing variants. The human genome reference GRCh37/hg19 build was used for sequence read alignment. At least 99% of the bases are covered at a read depth over 30X. Sensitivity is estimated at above 99% for single nucleotide variants, above 94% for deletions/insertions (delins) less than 40 base pairs (bp), above 95% for deletions up to 75 bp and insertions up to 47 bp. NGS and/or a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based quantitative method is performed to test for the presence of deletions and duplications in the genes analyzed.

 

There may be regions of genes that cannot be effectively evaluated by sequencing or deletion and duplication analysis as a result of technical limitations of the assay, including regions of homology, high guanine-cytosine (GC) content, and repetitive sequences. See Targeted Genes and Methodology Details for Inborn Errors of Immunity Comprehensive Gene Panel for details regarding the targeted genes analyzed for each test and specific gene regions not routinely covered.(Unpublished Mayo method)

 

Supplemental PCR-based methods are used to detect a large deletion in IKBKG and an inversion in UNC13D. Supplemental droplet digital PCR methods are used to detect deletions and duplications in IGHM, RPS17, C1R, and to detect the c.75_76delGT, p.Tyr26fs*26 (delta GT) disease-causing variant in NCF1.
