Test Code BAP1Z BAP1-Tumor Predisposition Syndrome, BAP1 Full Gene Analysis, Varies


Ordering Guidance


For a comprehensive hereditary renal cancer gene panel that includes testing for BAP1, consider RENCP / Hereditary Renal Cancer Panel, Varies.

 

Testing for the BAP1 gene as part of a customized panel is available. For more information see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.

 

Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known mutations testing) is available for this gene. For more information see FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.

Useful For

Evaluating patients with a personal or family history suggestive of BAP1-tumor predisposition syndrome (BAP1-TPDS)

 

Establishing a diagnosis of BAP1-TPDS allowing for targeted cancer surveillance based on associated risks

 

Identifying genetic variants associated with increased risk for BAP1-TPDS, allowing for predictive testing and appropriate screening of at-risk family members

Genetics Test Information

This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide and copy number variants in the BAP1 gene associated with BAP1-tumor predisposition syndrome (BAP1-TPDS). See Method Description for additional details.

 

Identification of a disease-causing variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling for BAP1-TPDS.

Clinical Information

Germline variants in the BAP1 gene are associated with BAP1-tumor predisposition syndrome (BAP1-TPDS), a rare autosomal dominant hereditary cancer syndrome.(1) BAP1-TPDS is characterized by increased risk to develop a variety of tumors, including BAP1-inactivated melanocytic tumor (also known as atypical Spitz tumor, or "BAPoma"), uveal and cutaneous melanoma, malignant mesothelioma, and renal cell carcinoma.(1) Many other tumor types, including basal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and meningioma, have also been associated with this syndrome.(1-6)

 

While the true penetrance of BAP1-TDPS is unknown due to both its rarity and ascertainment bias in the existing data, studies have shown up to 88% of individuals with an identified variant had a cancer diagnosis.(1,2)

 

Management and surveillance guidelines have been proposed by several multi-disciplinary expert groups.(1,5)

Reference Values

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation

All detected variants are evaluated according to American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics recommendations.(7) Variants are classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.
