Pricing Comments

Testing run on PG-select capture probes includes CNV analysis for the gene(s) on the panel but does not permit the optional add on of exome-wide CNV analysis. Any of the NGS platforms allow reflex to other clinically relevant genes, up to whole exome or whole genome sequencing depending upon the base platform selected for the initial test.

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

This test is also offered via a custom panel (click here) on our exome or genome backbone which permits the optional add on of exome-wide CNV or genome-wide SV analysis.

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

CDC73-related disorders include hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome (HPT-JT), parathyroid carcinoma, and familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP). The most common feature to these disorders is hyperparathyroidism. Patients are often symptomatic in late adolescence to early adulthood and show severe hypercalcemia (Frank-Raue et al. Eur J Endocrinol 165(3): 477-483, 2011). The etiology from these affected individuals is usually a single parathyroid adenoma, and less frequently a parathyroid carcinoma (10-15%) (Rich et al. GeneReviews, 2008; Frank-Raue et al. 2011). Approximately 30-40% of affected individuals have a benign ossified fibroma in the mandible or maxilla. Other growths include renal cysts and hamartomas, and less frequently Wilms tumor (Masi et al. Endocr Relat Cancer 15(4): 1115–1126, 2008). Females with HPT-JT syndrome are also at risk of benign and malignant uterine cancer (Rich et al. GeneReviews, 2008).

Genetics

CDC73-related disorders are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and are caused by mutations in the CDC73 gene (formerly known as HRPT2). CDC73 encodes parafibromin, which is a tumor suppressor (Bradley et al. Clin Endocrinol 64(3): 299-306, 2006) that is involved in regulating the cell cycle and gene expression (Masi et al., 2008). Most cases of CDC73-related disorders are inherited from an affected parent, although rarely sporadic cases and germline mosaicism have also been reported. CDC73-related disorders show incomplete penetrance and varied expressivity (Frank-Raue et al. Eur J Endocrinol 165(3): 477-483, 2011). Most mutations result in truncated proteins due to nonsense mutations, but other mutations such as missense, splice site changes, small insertions and duplications, and gross deletions and a duplication have also been reported throughout the gene (Human Gene Mutation Database). Somatic CDC73 mutations are also observed in parathyroid tumors from individuals with HPT-JT and FIHP (Masi et al. 2008).

Clinical Sensitivity - Sequencing with CNV PG-Select

Approximately 60% of individuals with HPT-JT will have a mutation in the CDC73 gene (Carpten et al. Nat Genet 32(4):676-680, 2002), and 20-33% of individuals with sporadic parathyroid carcinoma (Shattuck et al. N Eng J Med 349(18): 1722-1729, 2003; Masi et al. Endocr Relat Cancer 15(4):1115–1126, 2008). CDC73 mutations are a rare cause of FIHP, but can been seen in up to 7% of cases (Villablanca et al. J Med Genet 41(3): e32, 2004; Masi et al. 2008).

Clinical sensitivity for CNV detection is unknown at this time, but gross deletions in CDC73 have been reported (Bricaire L. et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 98(2): E403-E408, 2013; Cascón A. et al. Genes Chromosomes Cancer 50(11): 922-929, 2011; Domingues R. et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 76(1): 33-38, 2012).

Testing Strategy

This test provides full coverage of all coding exons of the CDC73 gene, plus ~10 bases of flanking noncoding DNA. We define full coverage as >20X NGS reads or Sanger sequencing.

Indications for Test

This test is useful for individuals who have biochemical findings of primary hyperparathyroidism, ossifying fibroma(s) of the maxilla and/or mandible, and/or familial/sporadic parathyroid carcinoma or adenoma. Testing for CDC73 mutations for parathyroid lesions may be performed if testing for MEN1 mutations is negative, and less commonly if RET testing is negative. This test is specifically designed for heritable germline mutations and is not appropriate for the detection of somatic mutations in tumor tissue.
