Blueprint Genetics Hereditary Leukemia Panel
Hereditary Leukemia Panel Test code: ON0101 Is a 41 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a personal history of a syndrome that confers an increased risk of leukemia or patients with a family history of a syndrome that confers an increased risk of leukemia. About Hereditary Leukemia An inherited predisposition to hematological malignancies, namely acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and bone marrow myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) may be associated with syndromic features or occur as the principal clinical feature. MDSs and AMLs can occur in the context of syndromic bone marrow failure (eg. dyskeratosis congenita, Fanconi anemia). Other hereditary syndromes with an increased risk of leukemia include Li-Fraumeni syndrome (TP53), ataxia telangiectasia (ATM), Bloom syndrome (BLM), neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and less frequently Noonan syndrome (PTPN11, CBL). Some reports have also shown an association of biallelic germline mutations in constitutional mismatch repair-deficiency syndrome genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 with the development of ALL. Isolated hematological malignancies are associated with germline mutations in RUNX1 (familial platelet syndrome with predisposition to acute myelogenous leukemia), CEBPA (familial AML), GATA2 (GATA2-associated syndromes) and DDX41(DDX41 -related myeloid neoplasms). There is a rapidly expanding list of germline mutations associated with increased risks for myeloid malignancies and inherited predisposition to hematologic malignancies may be more common than has been thought. Many different genetic defects associated with the development of leukemia have been described but the common underlying mechanism is a dysfunctional DNA damage response. Recognition of an inherited cause provides a specific molecular diagnosis and helps to guide treatment, understand unique disease features, prognosis and other organ systems that may be involved, and identify others in the family who may be at risk. -

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.

WHIM Syndrome: from Pathogenesis Towards Personalized Medicine and Cure
Journal of Clinical Immunology (2019) 39:532–556 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10875-019-00665-w CME REVIEW WHIM Syndrome: from Pathogenesis Towards Personalized Medicine and Cure Lauren E. Heusinkveld1,2 & Shamik Majumdar1 & Ji-Liang Gao1 & David H. McDermott1 & Philip M. Murphy1 Received: 22 April 2019 /Accepted: 26 June 2019 /Published online: 16 July 2019 # This is a U.S. Government work and not under copyright protection in the US; foreign copyright protection may apply 2019 Abstract WHIM syndrome is a rare combined primary immunodeficiency disease named by acronym for the diagnostic tetrad of warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis. Myelokathexis is a unique form of non-cyclic severe congenital neutropenia caused by accumulation of mature and degenerating neutrophils in the bone marrow; monocytopenia and lympho- penia, especially B lymphopenia, also commonly occur. WHIM syndrome is usually caused by autosomal dominant mutations in the G protein-coupled chemokine receptor CXCR4 that impair desensitization, resulting in enhanced and prolonged G protein- and β-arrestin-dependent responses. Accordingly, CXCR4 antagonists have shown promise as mechanism-based treatments in phase 1 clinical trials. This review is based on analysis of all 105 published cases of WHIM syndrome and covers current concepts, recent advances, unresolved enigmas and controversies, and promising future research directions.

There are no data on PNH among Omani patients. Methods We performed a retrospective review of all patients tested for PNH by flow cytometry at the Sultan Qaboos University Hospital between 2012 and 2019. Manifestations, treatment modalities and outcomes were assessed. Results Total of 10 patients were diagnosed or were on follow up for PNH (median age 22.5 years). Clinical manifestations included fatigue (80%) and anemia (70%). There were six patients who had classical PNH with evidence of hemolysis, three patient had PNH in the context of aplastic anemia, and one patient with subclinical PNH. The median reported total type II+III clone size was 95.5 (range 1.54-97) in neutrophils (FLAER/CD24) and 91.6 (range 0.036-99) in monocytes (FLAER/CD14). There were four patients who were found to have a clone size > 50% at time of diagnosis. The median follow up of the patients were 62 months (range: 8-204). -

Cardiomyopathy Precision Panel Overview Indications
Cardiomyopathy Precision Panel Overview Cardiomyopathies are a group of conditions with a strong genetic background that structurally hinder the heart to pump out blood to the rest of the body due to weakness in the heart muscles. These diseases affect individuals of all ages and can lead to heart failure and sudden cardiac death. If there is a family history of cardiomyopathy it is strongly recommended to undergo genetic testing to be aware of the family risk, personal risk, and treatment options. Most types of cardiomyopathies are inherited in a dominant manner, which means that one altered copy of the gene is enough for the disease to present in an individual. The symptoms of cardiomyopathy are variable, and these diseases can present in different ways. There are 5 types of cardiomyopathies, the most common being hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: 1. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) 2. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) 3. Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) 4. Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) 5. Isolated Left Ventricular Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy (LVNC). The Igenomix Cardiomyopathy Precision Panel serves as a diagnostic and tool ultimately leading to a better management and prognosis of the disease. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the genes involved in this disease using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to fully understand the spectrum of relevant genes. Indications The Igenomix Cardiomyopathy Precision Panel is indicated in those cases where there is a clinical suspicion of cardiomyopathy with or without the following manifestations: - Shortness of breath - Fatigue - Arrythmia (abnormal heart rhythm) - Family history of arrhythmia - Abnormal scans - Ventricular tachycardia - Ventricular fibrillation - Chest Pain - Dizziness - Sudden cardiac death in the family 1 Clinical Utility The clinical utility of this panel is: - The genetic and molecular diagnosis for an accurate clinical diagnosis of a patient with personal or family history of cardiomyopathy, channelopathy or sudden cardiac death.
