Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
The PreventionGenetics protocol for interpreting sequence variants has been carefully developed over a period of 10 years. We are conservative in our interpretations. We do not label a variant as pathogenic or benign without conclusive evidence. Although we use a variety of software to assist us in interpretation, we rely … View more

Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge? Help
Yes. Please visit our website for details at https://www.preventiongenetics.com/forms.php for Targeted variant tests.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
Yes. Please visit our website for details http://preventiongenetics.com/

Analytical Validity: Help
As of March 2016, we compared 17.37 Mb of Sanger DNA sequence generated at PreventionGenetics to NextGen sequence generated in other labs. We detected only 4 errors in our Sanger sequences, and these were all due to allele dropout during PCR. For Proficiency Testing, both external and internal, in the … View more
