Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Heritable Pancreas Diseases
The Cincinnati Children’s Genetics and Genomics Diagnostic Laboratory, in conjunction with Maisam Abu-El-Haija, MD, and the Pancreas Care Center, introduce the Pancreas Panel and the Pancreatic Insufficiency Panel by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).
The Heritable Pancreatic Diseases Genetic Testing program at Cincinnati Children’s will meet your patients' specialized needs by offering a comprehensive genetic test menu for the diagnosis of chronic and acute heritable pancreas diseases.
The Pancreas Panels are comprised of 10 clinically relevant genes related to heritable pancreatic diseases. We have created two custom assays to correlate with your patients' unique clinical symptoms. We offer the following genetic test options:
- Pancreas Panel (10 genes)
- Pancreatic Insufficiency Panel (4 genes)

The Pancreas Panels use SureSelect Target Enrichment technology followed by next-generation sequencing to provide increased test sensitivity in a comprehensive and cost effective manner. Our team of pediatric gastroenterologists (with special expertise in pancreatic disease and cystic fibrosis) and molecular geneticists will review and interpret each customized analysis, giving you access to unparalleled clinical expertise.
The Genetics and Genomics Diagnostic Laboratory at Cincinnati Children's also offers single gene analysis for any gene on a panel, targeted variant analysis, deletion / duplication analysis for several of the genes included in the Pancreas Panels. See a comprehensive list of tests offered.
