No
Test strategy: Help
This panel targets 8 genes associated with overgrowth. NGS is performed with high coverage (>500x). The bioinformatic pipeline is designed to detect low mosaicism. Both an affected tissue and a peripheral blood sample is requested for comparative analysis.

Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
The 5-classes classification method (Alamut)

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
Not provided.
Recommended fields not provided:
Clinical validity, Target population, Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge?, Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes?, Is research allowed on the sample after clinical testing is complete?, Sample negative report, Sample positive report
Technical Information
Test Platform:
Illumina MiSeq
Availability: Help
Tests performed
Entire test performed in-house
Analytical Validity: Help
This NGS panel is designed to detect low mosaicism. Sequencing is done with a high coverage (>500x). The bioinformatic pipeline is modified to make detection of low mosaic variants possible. Mosaicism as low as 1% is detected.
Proficiency testing (PT):
Is proficiency testing performed for this test? Help
Yes

Method used for proficiency testing: Help
Formal PT program

PT Provider: Help
European Molecular Genetics Quality Network, EMQN
VUS:
Software used to interpret novel variations Help
Alamut (Interactive Biosoftware), including AGVGD, PolyPhen-2, SIFT and MutationTaster for missense predictions and MAXEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer and Human Splicing Finder for splice predictions

Laboratory's policy on reporting novel variations Help
The laboratory reports class 3 (unknown pathogenicity), class 4 (likely pathogenic) and class 5 (certainly pathogenic) variants.
