Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Congenital or acquired bleeding diatheses are caused by a wide variety of coagulation abnormalities. The clinical presentation of an underlying bleeding disorder may include epistaxis, easy bruising, ecchymoses, umbilical stump bleeding, subcutaneous and muscle hematomas, prolonged post-injury or post-operative bleeding, bleeding into joint spaces, mucosal tract bleeds, intracranial bleeding, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Affected women may have an increased risk for bleeding during menstrual periods, pregnancy, and after childbirth, as well as recurrent pregnancy loss.

 

Determination of a hereditary bleeding disorder contributing to bleeding events in an individual or family can be useful for prognosis and risk assessment. Identification of an alteration that is known or suspected to cause disease can also be useful for determining the risk for bleeding for family members.

 

This panel evaluates 25 genes associated with a variety of hereditary bleeding disorders or abnormal coagulation laboratory results such as prolonged clotting times, including prothrombin deficiency; factor V deficiency; factor VII deficiency; hemophilia A; hemophilia B; factor X deficiency; factor XI deficiency; factor XIII deficiency; fibrinogen deficiencies (afibrinogenemia, hypofibrinogenemia, dysfibrinogenemia, and hypodysfibrinogenemia); vitamin K-dependent clotting factors deficiencies 1 and 2; platelet-type von Willebrand disease; fletcher factor (prekallikrein) deficiency; kininogen deficiency; combined factor V and VIII deficiency; familial hyperfibrinolysis; hemorrhagic diathesis due to antithrombin Pittsburgh; plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 deficiency; alpha 2 antiplasmin deficiency; bleeding due to high soluble thrombomodulin; and von Willebrand disease.

 

The risk for developing bleeding associated with these syndromes varies. For example, intracranial bleeding was reported in 5% of cases with afibrinogenemia and hypofibrinogenemia, 7% of cases with prothrombin deficiency, 8% of cases with factor V deficiency, 21% of symptomatic cases with factor X deficiency, and is considered very uncommon in cases with factor XI deficiency or combined factor V and factor VIII deficiency.(1) Several of the genes on this panel have established bleeding risk or expert group guidelines.(1-7)

 

Indications for testing include, but are not limited to:

-Individuals with a suspected bleeding disorder for which there is no specific coagulation assay readily available

-Individuals who are at risk for being a carrier of a bleeding disorder, especially those bleeding disorders where carrier status cannot be easily determined by available coagulation assays

-Individuals whose personal or family history indicate coinheritance of multiple hereditary bleeding disorders

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

All detected variants are evaluated according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics recommendations.(8) Variants are classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

Clinical Correlations:

Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, family history, and other laboratory data. Misinterpretation of results may occur if the information provided is inaccurate or incomplete.

 

If testing was performed because of a clinically significant family history, it is often useful to first test an affected family member. Detection of a reportable variant in an affected family member would allow for more informative testing of at-risk individuals.

 

To discuss the availability of additional testing options or for assistance in the interpretation of these results, contact the Mayo Clinic Laboratories genetic counselors at 800-533-1710.

 

Technical Limitations:

Next-generation sequencing may not detect all types of genomic variants. In rare cases, false-negative or false-positive results may occur. The depth of coverage may be variable for some target regions; assay performance below the minimum acceptable criteria or for failed regions will be noted. Given these limitations, negative results do not rule out the diagnosis of a genetic disorder. If a specific clinical disorder is suspected, evaluation by alternative methods can be considered.

 

There may be regions of genes that cannot be effectively evaluated by sequencing or deletion and duplication analysis as a result of technical limitations of the assay, including regions of homology, high guanine-cytosine (GC) content, and repetitive sequences. Confirmation of select reportable variants will be performed by alternate methodologies based on internal laboratory criteria.

 

This test is validated to detect 95% of deletions up to 75 base pairs (bp) and insertions up to 47 bp. Deletions-insertions (delins) of 40 or more bp, including mobile element insertions, may be less reliably detected than smaller delins.

 

Deletion/Duplication Analysis:

This analysis targets single and multi-exon deletions/duplications; however, in some instances, single exon resolution cannot be achieved due to isolated reduction in sequence coverage or inherent genomic complexity. Balanced structural rearrangements (such as translocations and inversions) may not be detected.

 

This test is not designed to detect low levels of mosaicism or to differentiate between somatic and germline variants. If there is a possibility that any detected variant is somatic, additional testing may be necessary to clarify the significance of results.

 

For detailed information regarding gene specific performance and technical limitations, see Method Description or contact a laboratory genetic counselor.

 

If the patient has had an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant or a recent blood transfusion, results may be inaccurate due to the presence of donor DNA. Call Mayo Clinic Laboratories for instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant.

 

Reclassification of Variants:

Currently, it is not standard practice for the laboratory to systematically review previously classified variants on a regular basis. The laboratory encourages healthcare providers to contact the laboratory at any time to learn how the classification of a particular variant may have changed over time. Due to broadening genetic knowledge, it is possible that the laboratory may discover new information of relevance to the patient. Should that occur, the laboratory may issue an amended report.

 

Variant Evaluation:

Evaluation and categorization of variants are performed using published American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology recommendations as a guideline.(8) Other gene-specific guidelines may also be considered. Variants are classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance. Variants classified as benign or likely benign are not reported.

 

Multiple in silico evaluation tools may be used to assist in the interpretation of these results. The accuracy of predictions made by in silico evaluation tools is highly dependent upon the data available for a given gene, and periodic updates to these tools may cause predictions to change over time. Results from in silico evaluation tools should be interpreted with caution and professional clinical judgment.

 

Rarely, incidental or secondary findings may implicate another predisposition or presence of active disease. These findings will be carefully reviewed to determine whether they will be reported.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and/or Sanger sequencing are performed to test for the presence of variants in coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the genes analyzed, as well as some other regions that have known disease-causing variants. The human genome reference GRCh37/hg19 build was used for sequence read alignment. At least 99% of the bases are covered at a read depth over 30X. Sensitivity is estimated at above 99% for single nucleotide variants, above 94% for deletion-insertions (delins) less than 40 base pairs (bp), above 95% for deletions up to 75 bp and insertions up to 47 bp. NGS and/or a polymerase chain reaction-based quantitative method is performed to test for the presence of deletions and duplications in the genes analyzed.

 

There may be regions of genes that cannot be effectively evaluated by sequencing or deletion and duplication analysis as a result of technical limitations of the assay, including regions of homology, high guanine-cytosine (GC) content, and repetitive sequences. See Targeted Genes and Methodology Details for Bleeding Disorders, Comprehensive Gene Panel and Methodology Details for details regarding the targeted genes analyzed for each test and specific gene regions not routinely covered.(Unpublished Mayo method)
