Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
We follow the guidelines by Richards eta l. 2015 ACMG, Genet Med

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

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
No.

VUS:
Software used to interpret novel variations Help
Variants are analysed using SIFT, polyphen2, Align GVGD and MutationTaster for predictions. If possible we perform segregation analysis.

Laboratory's policy on reporting novel variations Help
The person who ordered the test will receive a written report by ordinary mail.
