Adult onset neurodegenerative disorder
STR: HTT_CAG
Triplet repeat length in HTT is measured within the NHS to diagnose Huntington's disease which is, typically, an adult-onset disorder leading to neurodegeneration. I think this is therefore a relevant genomic target for this panel and omission could pose clinical risk in terms of missed diagnoses.Created: 25 Jan 2021, 4:26 p.m. | Last Modified: 25 Jan 2021, 4:26 p.m.

Tagged 'for-review' to highlight the recent review by Helen Brittain (Genomics England Clinical Team) indicating that exclusion of this STR may increase risk of missed diagnoses. HTT_CAG was removed from this panel in October 2020 at request of the GMS Specialist Test Group.Created: 26 Jan 2021, 11:11 a.m. | Last Modified: 26 Jan 2021, 11:11 a.m.

Comment on list classification: This STR has been removed at the request of GHLs for the GMS Neurology Specialist Test Group as it is available as a core test for R68 Huntington Disease. Inclusion on panels for other neurological CIs raises concerns regarding counselling, and so it has been agreed that HTT_CAG will be excluded from this panel.Created: 6 Oct 2020, 10:34 a.m. | Last Modified: 6 Oct 2020, 10:34 a.m.
