Skeletal Dysplasias
Gene panel testing for patients affected with a form of skeletal dysplasia. This is a pilot EQA, places are limited, complete the form to express interest in participation (see participant information section).
Stickler syndrome
Collagen gene (COL2A1, COL11A1, COL11A2, COL9A1, COL9A2) testing for patients with Stickler syndrome and familial cases.
Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer, HNPCC)
MSH2, MLH1, MSH6, EPCAM and PMS2 testing for patients with Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer, HNPCC) and familial cases.
Neuromuscular Disorders
Dystrophin gene and panel testing for Rare Neuromuscular Disorders (NMD) (germline DNA). This EQA has options for targeted DMD / BMD testing and/or NMD panel testing.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)
COL1A1 and COL1A2 testing for patients with osteogenesis imperfecta and familial cases.
Porphyrias
Molecular genetic testing for patients with porphyria and familial cases (group of eight disorders of the heme biosynthesis pathway, as defined by Ipnet).
