Diagnosis; Prognostic
Target population: Help
CMA is typically the best diagnostic genetic test to begin with when (1) fetal abnormalities are seen by ultrasound; (2) there is an intrauterine fetal demise or stillbirth; (3) a person has an autism spectrum disorder. It is also the appropriate follow-up test when a large copy number variant has … View more

Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
CNVs are interpreted using ClinGen, DGV, gnomAD, ClinVar, DECIPHER, OMIM, published medical literature. Classification and reporting is based on current ACMGG Guidelines (Riggs et al, 2019; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31690835/).

Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge? Help
No.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
No. The ordering provider is welcome to contact lab to request an updated interpretation of any CNVs detected previously.

Entire test performed in-house
Analytical Validity: Help
As required by ACMG, 30 known normal and abnormal samples were used for assay validation. The microarray identified 100% of the abnormalities.
Assay limitations: Help
This microarray will detect aneuploidy as well as copy number gains (duplications or amplifications), copy number losses (deletions), and regions of copy number neutral absence or loss of heterozygosity for the loci represented on the microarray. Analysis in our laboratory is limited to detecting copy number changes (deletions and duplications) … View more
Proficiency testing (PT):
Is proficiency testing performed for this test? Help
Yes

Method used for proficiency testing: Help
Formal PT program

PT Provider: Help
American College of Medical Genetics / College of American Pathologists, ACMG/CAP

Description of PT method: Help
As part of CAP accreditation, proficiency testing is performed two times per year. The laboratory is provided with approximately 4 unknown specimens for testing each year, and results are returned to CAP for evaluation.
VUS:
Software used to interpret novel variations Help
DGV, gnomAD, ClinGen, ClinVar, DECIPHER databases and published medical literature

Laboratory's policy on reporting novel variations Help
Variants of uncertain significance can be reported or withheld, based on ordering provider preference.
