Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
HGMD, Disease databases, and ClinVar used for classification. Recommend testing parents or other appropriate family members.

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
Yes. Ordering physician or genetic counselor contacted and a revised report issued
