Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
Copy number variants detected by microarray analysis are investigated to determine gene content, gene number, size of alteration, publications involving similar deletions and duplications, and whether similar copy gains and losses are present in existing databases. Genes are further evaluated for function, known mutations, evidence of haploinsufficiency and animal models. … View more

Technical Information
Test Procedure: Help
FISH confirmation/visualization of the majority of copy number abnormalities. If submitting a specimen that cannot be cultured, such as frozen tissue or extracted DNA, a secondary specimen may be recommended for follow-up by FISH visualization (at no extra charge). Molecular studies may be recommended depending on specific test results.
Test Confirmation: Help

Assay limitations: Help
Although microarray detects microscopic and submicroscopic deletions and duplications undetectable by karyotyping, microarray will not detect balanced chromosome rearrangements, such as balanced translocations or inversions. It will not detect alterations in chromosome structure at areas of the genome not covered by the array. This technology will not detect sequence alterations … View more
