Pricing Comments

Our favored testing approach is exome based NextGen sequencing with CNV analysis. This will allow cost effective reflexing to PGxome or other exome based tests. However, if full gene Sanger sequencing is desired for STAT turnaround time, insurance, or other reasons, please see link below for Test Code, pricing, and turnaround time information. If the Sanger option is selected, CNV detection may be ordered through Test #600.

An additional 25% charge will be applied to STAT orders. STAT orders are prioritized throughout the testing process.

The Sanger Sequencing method for this test is NY State approved.

Turnaround Time

3 weeks on average for standard orders or 2 weeks on average for STAT orders.

Please note: Once the testing process begins, an Estimated Report Date (ERD) range will be displayed in the portal. This is the most accurate prediction of when your report will be complete and may differ from the average TAT published on our website. About 85% of our tests will be reported within or before the ERD range. We will notify you of significant delays or holds which will impact the ERD. Learn more about turnaround times here.

Clinical Features and Genetics

Clinical Features

TRPV4 encodes transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 4, is a member of the OSM9-like transient receptor potential channel (OTRPC) subfamily in the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels. The encoded protein is a calcium permeable nonselective cation channel that is thought to be involved in the regulation of systemic osmotic pressure (Vriens et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci 101:396-401, 2004). TRPV4 is involved in many different cellular functions; it has an important role in differentiation of chondrocytes and terminal differentiation of osteoclasts via calcium influx (Muramatsu et al. J Biol Chem 282:32158-32167, 2007; Masuyama et al. Cell Metab 8:257-265, 2008).

Genetics

Variants in TRPV4 are known to cause at least 8 distinct phenotypes. The majority of these variants are missense resulting in gain-of-function (Rock et al. Nat Genet 40:999-1003, 2008; Deng et al. Nat Genet 42:165-169, 2010) or haploinsufficiency (Auer-Grumbach et al. Nat Genet 42:160-164, 2010).

Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PGxome

This test is predicted to detect disease variants in virtually all individuals with a clinical diagnosis of MD, SMDK, and SED Maroteaux type (Camacho et al. Am J Med Genet 152A:1169–1177, 2010; Nishimura et al. Am J Med Genet 152A:1443–1449, 2010; Dai et al. J Med Genet 47: 704-709, 2010; Krakow et al. Am J Hum Genet 84: 307-315, 2009). Testing of large series of patients with other TRPV4-related phenotypes has not yet been reported.

Testing Strategy

This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the TRPV4 gene plus 10 bases of flanking noncoding DNA in all available transcripts along with other non-coding regions in which pathogenic variants have been identified at PreventionGenetics or reported elsewhere. We define full coverage as >20X NGS reads or Sanger sequencing. PGnome panels typically provide slightly increased coverage over the PGxome equivalent. PGnome sequencing panels have the added benefit of additional analysis and reporting of deep intronic regions (where applicable).

Dependent on the sequencing backbone selected for this testing, discounted reflex testing to any other similar backbone-based test is available (i.e., PGxome panel to whole PGxome; PGnome panel to whole PGnome).

Indications for Test

Candidates for this test are patients with clinical and radiographic features consistent with TRPV4-related phenotypes, and family members of patients who have a known TRPV4 variant.
