HelpTest Code HIESG Hyper-IgE Syndrome Gene Panel, Varies
Ordering Guidance
Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known variants testing) is available for the genes on this panel. See FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about testing option, call 800-533-1710.
Shipping Instructions
Specimen preferred to arrive within 96 hours of collection.
Specimen Required
Patient Preparation: A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with testing. Call 800-533-1710 for instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant.
Submit only 1 of the following specimens:
Specimen Type: Whole blood
Container/Tube:
Preferred: Lavender top (EDTA) or yellow top (ACD)
Acceptable: Any anticoagulant
Specimen Volume: 3 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Invert several times to mix blood.
2. Send whole blood specimen in original tube. Do not aliquot.
Specimen Stability Information: Ambient (preferred)4 days/Refrigerated
Specimen Type: Skin biopsy
Supplies: Fibroblast Biopsy Transport Media (T115)
Container/Tube: Sterile container with any standard cell culture media (eg, minimal essential media, RPMI 1640). The solution should be supplemented with 1% penicillin and streptomycin.

Useful For
Providing a comprehensive genetic evaluation for patients with a personal or family history suggestive of hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES)
Establishing a diagnosis of HIES, allowing for appropriate management and surveillance for disease features based on the gene and/or variant involved
Identifying variants within genes known to be associated with HIES, allowing for predictive testing of at-risk family members and/or determination of targeted management (anticipatory guidance, management changes, specific therapies)
Genetics Test Information
This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide and copy number variants in 21 genes associated with hyper-IgE syndrome: AIRE, CARD11, CARD9, CARMIL2, DOCK8, ERBIN, IL6R, IL6ST, IL17RA, IL17RC, IL17F, PGM3, SPINK5, STAT1, STAT3, TGFBR1, TGFBR2, TRAF3IP2, TYK2, WAS, and ZNF341. See Targeted Genes and Methodology Details for Hyper-IgE Syndrome Gene Panel and Method Description for additional details.
Identification of a disease-causing variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, recurrence risk assessment, familial screening, and genetic counseling for hyper-IgE syndrome.
