Useful For
Providing a genetic evaluation of individuals with a personal or family history of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism, or autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism (autosomal dominant hypocalcemia)
Establishing a diagnosis of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism, or autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism (autosomal dominant hypocalcemia)
As a part of the workup for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, and Bartter syndrome
Genetics Test Information
This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide, deletion-insertion, and copy number variants in the CASR gene, which is associated with autosomal dominant familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism, autosomal dominant hypocalcemia (hypoparathyroidism), and autosomal dominant hypocalcemia with Bartter syndrome. See Method Description for additional details.
Identification of a disease-causing variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling for autosomal dominant familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism, autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism (also known as autosomal dominant hypocalcemia), and autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism with features of Bartter syndrome.
