Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS?
Help
Practice guidelines for the Interpretation and Reporting of Unclassified Variants (UVs) in Clinical Molecular Genetics. Prepared and edited by Jennie Bell, Danielle Bodmer, Erik Sistermans and Simon C Ramsden
Practice guidelines for the Interpretation and Reporting of Unclassified Variants (UVs) in Clinical Molecular Genetics. Prepared and edited by Jennie Bell, Danielle Bodmer, Erik Sistermans and Simon C Ramsden
Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge?
Help
No.
No.
Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes?
Help
Yes. We systematically (every 6-8 months) re-evaluated the data and re-contact the physician in case of new pathogenic findings

Research:
Is research allowed on the sample after clinical testing is complete?
Help
In interesting cases, we perform research after clinical testing is complete and we require a research consent inform for that purpose
