Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
All detected variants are evaluated according to the most recent American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) recommendations. Variants are classified based on known, predicted, or possible pathogenicity and reported with interpretive comments detailing their potential or known significance.

Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge? Help
Yes. Contact lab for details.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
No. The laboratory encourages health care providers to contact the laboratory at any time to learn how the status of a particular variant may have changed over time.
Research:
Is research allowed on the sample after clinical testing is complete? Help
Research testing is only performed under IRB approved protocol with an opt-out policy in place.
Recommended fields not provided:
Clinical validity, Sample negative report, Sample positive report
Technical Information
Test Procedure: Help
Bi-directional DNA sequencing is utilized to test for the presence of a mutation in all 4 coding exons and intron/exon boundaries of the BTD gene.
Test Confirmation: Help
Positive results are confirmed by repeat sequence analysis.
Availability: Help
Tests performed
Entire test performed in-house
Analytical Validity: Help
Sequence analysis has an analytical sensitivity of approximately 99% for nucleotide base alterations, small deletions, and insertions. Low-level mosaicism will not be detected by routine sequencing methodologies.
Assay limitations: Help
A small percentage of individuals who are carriers or have a diagnosis of biotinidase deficiency caused by a BTD gene mutation may have a mutation that is not identified by the methods described. In some cases, DNA alterations of undetermined significance may be identified. Rare polymorphisms exist that could lead … View more

Software used to interpret novel variations Help
Variants may be analyzed using any combination of the following: Alamut, REVEL, Polyphen-2, SIFT, AGVGD, MutationTaster, SpliceSiteFinder-like, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, SpliceAI, gene-specific online databases, ISCA, UCSC Genome Browser

Laboratory's policy on reporting novel variations Help
All novel variants and copy number variants are evaluated for potential pathogenicity and included in the written report, accordingly.
