Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
Variants are categorized as pathogenic, likely pathogenic or a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) utilizing the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG)/Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) guidelines as published by Richards et al 2015.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
Not provided.
Recommended fields not provided:
Clinical validity, Clinical utility, 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 Procedure: Help
The patient's DNA is sequenced using whole genome sequencing conducted on an Illumina platform at 30X mean mappable coverage. The relevant region(s) of DNA are subsequently isolated in-silico for analysis.

Specimen preparation, clinical grade sequencing, data processing, analysis, interpretation, diagnosis and report generation is performed by Variantyx.
Analytical Validity: Help
The Genomic Unity® Comprehensive Mitochondrial Disorders Analysis is designed to identify variants that correlate with mitochondrial disorders. This analysis includes mitochondrial genome sequence changes analysis with heteroplasmy, and large deletions analysis; and sequence analysis (single nucleotide variants, deletions/insertions, and characterized intronic variants), copy number variants, duplications/deletions, mobile element insertions, and … View more
Assay limitations: Help
