HOXA13 Repeat Expansion Testing

Description

Pathogenic variants in the HOXA13 gene, including polyalanine repeat expansions, have been associated with autosomal dominant hand-foot-genital syndrome.

Pathogenicity of GCN repeats in the first polyalanine tract is dependent upon length according to the following ranges 1-2:

Normal Alleles

Mutable Normal Alleles

Intermediate/Uncertain Alleles

Reduced Penetrance Alleles

Full Penetrance Alleles
