Ciliopathies About Emory Genetics Laboratory (EGL) EGL specializes in genetic diagnostic testing, with 45 years of clinical experience and board-certified laboratory directors and genetic counselors reporting out cases. EGL offers a combined 1100 molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, and cytogenetics tests under one roof and custom testing for all medically relevant genes, for domestic and international clients. Equally important to improving patient care through quality genetic testing is the contribution EGL makes back to the scientific and medical communities. EGL is one of only a few clinical diagnostic laboratories to openly share data with the NCBI freely available public database ClinVar (>7000 variants on >500 genes) and is also the only laboratory with a free online database (EmVClass), featuring a variant classification search and report request interface, which facilitates rapid interactive curation and reporting of variants.
Ciliopathies Panel The ciliopathies are a group of disorders caused by mutation in genes that encode proteins involved in the formation and function of cilia. Cilia are microtubule-based, hair-like cytoplasmic extensions from the cell surface and are found on almost all cell types. They play a part in multiple biological processes, including cellular motility, extracellular fluid movement, and sensory and signal transduction pathways.
As many developmental and physiological functions are dependent on cilia, defects in cilia may lead to disorders in many different organ systems and processes, including: • renal disease • cerebral anomalies • congenital fibrocystic diseases • retinal degeneration • skeletal dysplasia of the pancreas and liver • diabetes • obesity
There are 112 genes on the Ciliopathies Panel (please see reverse side for a list of genes analyzed). The panel tests for genes involved in numerous ciliopathy disorders, including: • primary ciliary dyskinesia • Senior-Loken syndrome • Bardet-Biedl syndrome • heterotaxy • Leber congenital amaurosis • Meckel-Gruber syndrome • Joubert and related syndromes • Usher syndrome • nephronophthisis
EGL offers the Ciliopathies Panel to aid in diagnosis when a ciliopathy is suspected. Ordering the Ciliopathies Panel can be more cost-effective than single-gene analysis when the specific gene involved in a patient’s disorder is not readily apparent.
