Test Code LAB3800 ImmuneSeq Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (FHLH) DNA Sequencing

Clinical System Name

ImmuneSeq Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (FHLH) DNA Sequencing

Description

Immune disorders are categorized into nine categories per the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) expert commitee: 1) combined immunodeficiencies (CID) with associated or syndromic features; 2) predominantly antibody deficiencies, 3) diseases of immune dysregulation, 4) congenital defects of phagocytes, 5) defects in intrinsic and innate immunity, 6) autoinflammatory diseases, 7) complement deficiencies, 8) bone marrow failure, and 9) phenocopies of inborn errors of immunity. These are also broken down into several subcategories each.

 

The ImmuneSeq panel is designed to test for genetic causes of immune disorders, including but not limited to severe combined immune deficiency (SCID), combined immune deficiency (CID), congenital agammaglobulinemia, familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHLH), Very Early Onset-Inflammatory Bowel Disease (VEO-IBD)/early onset enteropathy, lymphocytic immunodeficiencies, autoimmune disorders, and disorders resulting in low immunoglobulins and susceptibility to opportunistic and/or severe infections. Many genes have been identified to contribute to immune disorders. Genetic diagnoses of immunodeficiencies may impact patient disease management in up to 40% of individuals. Immunodeficiencies may occur de novo, be inherited in a dominant manner, or inherited in a recessive manner.

 

The Seattle Children's Hospital Molecular Laboratory offers different immune disorder panels based on clinical presentation with additional testing options. Reported gene lists are below and detailed descriptions are available. All panels include copy number analysis and may identify mosaicism.

Methodology

Method: Next Generation Sequencing technology using an Illumina NextSeq instrument. Target region includes coding exons and a minimum of 10 bp of flanking intron boundaries of the genes tested. Target enrichment performed using a custom Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) Exome Hyb Panel v2. 

 

Average coverage ~150x.

 

Limitations:

This testing is performed on an exome backbone with analysis restricted to the panel genes. This method can detect single nucleotide variants (SNVs), small deletions, small insertions, and copy number variants in the regions targeted. Some regions cannot be efficiently captured due to sequence homology or sequence properties. This method will not detect large insertions and deletions, complex indels, structural variants (e.g. inversions, translocations), short tandem repeats, or other complex variants. Variants located outside of targeted regions will not be detected.

 

Based on validation studies, the bioinformatics pipeline showed precision and detection >99% for SNVs in regions with coverage greater than 20x and high mapping quality. Sensitivity for CNVs involving multiple genes is >99% and sensitivity for intragenic CNVs is >90%. Mosaic sequence variants present at <25% allele frequency may not be reliably detected, and detection sensitivity is dependent on the nature of the variant. The sensitivity of detection of mosaic copy number variants has not been evaluated.

*Gene with known pseudogenes that may impact ability to detect variants or have additional limitations resulting in low coverage.

Reference Range

Interpretive report will be provided. Variants are classified using the ACMG/AMP guidelines (PMID: 25741868). Variants are that are considered neutral, risk alleles, or associated with carrier status for recessive disorders are not routinely reported.

Clinical Utility

While individually rare, immune disorders are a significant health burden. This is not a complete list, but genetic testing may be considered in individuals when the clinical differential diagnosis includes:

  • Dyskeratosis congenita
  • SCID
  • Bloom syndrome
  • CHARGE syndrome
  • Bone Marrow Failure
  • Roifman-Chitayat syndrome
  • SHORT syndrome
  • IMAGE-I syndrome
  • RIDDLE syndrome
  • Trichohepatoenteric syndrome
  • Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
