Test strategy:
Help
Testing is performed by exome capture of the coding regions of relevant genes followed by next generation sequencing to detect small sequence variants. Starred tests (*) include additional testing for deletions and duplications by an alternate methodology (aCGH) when sequencing does not identify genetic variation consistent with a molecular diagnosis. …
