  • The clinical utility of the test refers to the likelihood that the test will, by prompting an intervention, result in an improved health outcome. The clinical utility of a genetic test is based on the health benefits related to the interventions offered to people with positive test results. Theoretically, there are several strategies that might improve the health outcome of people with a genetic susceptibility to disease and the main one is performing of gene test. Upon obtaining the gene test results, it is possible to apply specific treatment, to perform screening for the mutations within family or population of affected patients, and in general, to improve patient’s quality of life.

Target population: Help
This test is targeted to individuals ● with a family history of the disease and presentation of the most common symptoms and/or ● without a positive family history, but with symptoms resembling the phenotype of the disease and/or ● with a negative but suspected family history, in order to perform … View more
Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
The interpretation of a variation as a VUS is done according to the practice guidelines provided by the America College of Medical Genetics (ACMG; ACMG recommendations for standards for interpretation and reporting of sequence variations).

Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge? Help
Yes. We are performing a majority of carrier testing with reduced pricing and in selected cases at no cost.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
Yes. In case of identification of mutation that can be present in non-affected family members, or after identification of highly specific genetic change, or in additional special situations we could contact the ordering again.
Research:
Is research allowed on the sample after clinical testing is complete? Help
After clinical testing is completed, with the patient’s signed consent, Centogene utilizes and archives the sample according to all regulatory guidelines and standards.

For Proficiency Testing, both external and internal, during years of our lab operation, we have Sanger-sequenced hundred thousands of PCR fragments, and the error rate have is less than 0.01% (99.99% accuracy). We had performed MLPA on hundred thousand samples, and NGS and qPCR methods (used for increasing number of … View more
Proficiency testing (PT):
Is proficiency testing performed for this test? Help
No

Description of PT method: Help
Proficiency testing (also known as comparative testing) is an important way of meeting the requirements of standards in the area of quality assurance of laboratory results. Proficiency testing involves a laboratories performing the same analyses on the same samples and comparing results. Centogene has two main and several related laboratories … View more

Laboratory's policy on reporting novel variations Help
Centogene has a common practice to report all variants found in genetic testing, including novel and previously reported variants. A number of criteria are used to support a variant as being potentially disease-causing, including segregation with disease status in other affected family members, absence from a control population, and location … View more
