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, Clinical utility, Sample negative report, Sample positive report
Technical Information
Test Procedure: Help
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and/or Sanger sequencing is performed to test for the presence of variants in coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the genes analyzed. NGS and/or a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based quantitative method is performed to test for the presence of deletions and duplications in the genes analyzed
Test Confirmation: Help
Confirmation of select reportable variants may be performed by alternate methodologies based on internal laboratory criteria. PCR-based methods and/or Sanger sequencing is used to confirm variants detected by NGS when appropriate
Availability: Help
Tests performed
Entire test performed in-house
Analytical Validity: Help
At least 99% of the bases are covered at a read depth >30X. Sensitivity is estimated at >99% for single nucleotide variants, >94% for indels up to 39 base pairs, >95% for deletions up to 75 base pairs and insertions up to 47 base pairs.
Proficiency testing (PT):
Is proficiency testing performed for this test? Help
Yes

Method used for proficiency testing: Help
Platform PT performed
VUS:
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.
