The "Nosology of genetic skeletal disorders" has undergone its 11th revision and now contains 771 entries associated with 552 genes, clearly demonstrating the impact of advances in the phenotypic and genotypic understanding of these conditions.

At Blueprint Genetics, most of the genes described in the “Nosology of genetic skeletal disorders” can now be included by using our customization feature, when ordering a Comprehensive Growth Disorders/Skeletal Dysplasia and Disorders Panel for a patient.

At Blueprint Genetics, we follow a genotype-first approach for variant interpretation. This means that we do not filter out any variants from analysis based on the patient’s phenotype. By utilizing this approach, we are able to avoid missing relevant variants and help you provide the most accurate results for your patients.

There can be significant phenotypic overlap between immunological and hematological disorders. Patients with these clinical presentations may benefit from the Blueprint Genetics Comprehensive Immune and Cytopenia panel, which combines all genes in our immunology portfolio with genes from select hematology panels. This testing can assess for an underlying genetic cause, which is crucial for implementing personalized surveillance and treatment options.

One key component of our commitment to providing quality genetic testing is to look deeper into technically challenging but clinically important genes and regions not covered by many standard NGS workflows. These technically challenging genes can be responsible for a significant proportion of genetic diseases.

One such gene is RPGR, which accounts for 10–20% of all retinitis pigmentosa diagnoses. The ORF15 exon is a known hotspot for disease-causing variants but is challenging to sequence. Despite its relevance, ORF15 is often excluded because of these challenging regions. At Blueprint Genetics, our aim is to include these challenging regions, increasing the likelihood of detecting pathogenic variants in genes such as RPGR.

Join our educational on July 2 at 7:00 PM CEST titled ‘Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: Reviewing the diagnostic utility of genetic testing for EDS.'

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited disorders affecting connective tissue, primarily skin, joints, and blood vessel walls. These syndromes are caused by genetic mutations in genes involved in collagen production or function, leading to weaker and more stretchy connective tissues. The inheritance patterns can vary, with some types being autosomal dominant and others autosomal recessive. In this webinar, Professor Clair A. Francomano will discuss the various forms and inheritance patterns of EDS, and review the diagnostic utility of genetic testing for EDS.

Webinar Objectives:
🧬 Discuss the various forms and the inheritance patterns of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
🧬 Review the diagnostic utility of genetic testing for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

A family history of cancer can indicate a genetic predisposition. The Blueprint Genetics Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Panel offers broad coverage of genes associated with inherited cancer syndromes, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, and more.

This panel includes:

✔ Both sequence and copy number variant (CNV) detection
✔ Disease-associated noncoding variants
✔ Break-point analysis to detect structural variants, like coding region Alu-insertions, often missed by target capture methods
✔ Results in 4 weeks
