| Interpretive Data: |
Background Information for Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome (BMPR1A) Deletion/Duplication:
Characteristics: Multiple juvenile (hamartomatous) polyps in the stomach, small intestine, colon, and rectum. Risk for colon cancer is 20 percent by age 35 and 70 percent by age 60.
Incidence: 1 in 16,000 to 100,000 individuals.
Inheritance: Autosomal dominant.
Penetrance: Greater than 90 percent for polyp development.
Cause: Pathogenic BMPR1A and SMAD4 mutations.
Clinical Sensitivity: 99 percent.
Methodology: Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) to detect large BMPR1A coding region deletions and duplications; BMPR1A exons 6 and 7 are not analyzed.
Analytical Sensitivity & Specificity: 99 percent.
Limitations: Rare diagnostic errors can occur due to probe site mutations. Single base pair substitutions, small deletions/duplications, regulatory region mutations, and deep intronic mutations will not be detected. Large deletions/duplications of exons 6 and 7 will not be detected. The breakpoints of large deletions/duplications will not be determined. Mutations in genes other than BMPR1A are not evaluated.
Counseling and informed consent are recommended for genetic testing. Consent forms are available online at www.aruplab.com.
