Procedures addressed The inclusion of any procedure code in this table does not imply that the code is under management or requires prior authorization. Refer to the specific Health Plan's procedure code list for management requirements. Procedures addressed by this Procedure codes guideline IBMFS Multigene panel 81479 What are inherited bone marrow failure syndromes Definition Bone marrow failure (BMF) is the inability of the bone marrow to produce a sufficient quantity of functional blood cells to meet physiologic demands.1 BMF is typically classified into three categories, based on presumed etiology: inherited, secondary, or idiopathic.1 Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFSs) are a group of genetically defined disorders that are characterized by BMF. Individuals presenting with aplastic anemia (AA), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic unexplained cytopenias should be evaluated for an IBMFS.1 Incidence "The incidence of inherited bone marrow failures accounts for 10% to 15% of marrow aplasia and 30% of pediatric bone marrow failure disorders with approximately 65 cases per million live births every year."2 Seventy-five percent of children with an IBMFS have an identifiable cause.2 ©2021 eviCore healthcare.

WES Gene Package Multiple Congenital Anomalie.Xlsx
Whole Exome Sequencing Gene package Multiple congenital anomalie, version 5, 1‐2‐2018 Technical information DNA was enriched using Agilent SureSelect Clinical Research Exome V2 capture and paired‐end sequenced on the Illumina platform (outsourced). The aim is to obtain 8.1 Giga base pairs per exome with a mapped fraction of 0.99. The average coverage of the exome is ~50x. Duplicate reads are excluded. Data are demultiplexed with bcl2fastq Conversion Software from Illumina. Reads are mapped to the genome using the BWA‐MEM algorithm (reference: http://bio‐bwa.sourceforge.net/). Variant detection is performed by the Genome Analysis Toolkit HaplotypeCaller (reference: http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/). The detected variants are filtered and annotated with Cartagenia software and classified with Alamut Visual. It is not excluded that pathogenic mutations are being missed using this technology. At this moment, there is not enough information about the sensitivity of this technique with respect to the detection of deletions and duplications of more than 5 nucleotides and of somatic mosaic mutations (all types of sequence changes).

Blueprint Genetics Ectodermal Dysplasia Panel
Ectodermal Dysplasia Panel Test code: DE0401 Is a 25 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion of ectodermal dysplasia (hidrotic or hypohidrotic) or Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. About Ectodermal Dysplasia Ectodermal Dysplasia (ED) is a group of closely related conditions of which more than 150 different syndromes have been identified. EDs affects the development or function of teeth, hair, nails and sweat glands. ED may present as isolated or as part of a syndromic disease and is commonly subtyped according to sweating ability. The clinical features of the X-linked and autosomal forms of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) can be indistinguishable and many of the involved genes may lead to phenotypically distinct outcomes depending on number of defective alleles. The most common EDs are hypohidrotic ED and hydrotic ED. X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is caused by EDA mutations and explain 75%-95% of familial HED and 50% of sporadic cases. HED is characterized by three cardinal features: hypotrichosis (sparse, slow-growing hair and sparse/missing eyebrows), reduced sweating and hypodontia (absence or small teeth). Reduced sweating poses risk for episodes of hyperthermia. Female carriers may have some degree of hypodontia and mild hypotrichosis. Isolated dental phenotypes have also been described. Mutations in WNT10A have been reported in up to 9% of individuals with HED and in 25% of individuals with HED who do not have defective EDA. Approximately 50% of individuals with heterozygous WNT10A mutation have HED and the most consistent clinical feature is severe oligodontia of permanent teeth. -

It is important to examine the fetal face and skull during prenatal ultrasound examinations because abnormalities of these structures may indicate the presence of other, more subtle anomalies, syndromes, chromosomal abnormalities, or even rarer conditions, such as infections or metabolic disorders.
