Clinical Information
Test purpose: Help
Diagnosis; Mutation Confirmation
Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? Help
Practice guidelines for the Interpretation and Reporting of Unclassified Variants (UVs) in Clinical Molecular Genetics. Prepared and edited by Jennie Bell, Danielle Bodmer, Erik Sistermans and Simon C Ramsden

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
Yes. We systematically (every 6-8 months) re-evaluated the data and re-contact the physician in case of new pathogenic findings
Research:
Is research allowed on the sample after clinical testing is complete? Help
In interesting cases, we perform research after clinical testing is complete and we require a research consent inform for that purpose
Recommended fields not provided:
Technical Information
Test Procedure: Help
If we found a pathogenic variation, we perform an independent analysis to confirm the finding
Test Confirmation: Help
If we found a pathogenic variation, we perform an independent analysis to confirm the finding
Availability: Help
Tests performed
Entire test performed in-house
Analytical Validity: Help
99.9%. If we found a pathogenic variation, we perform an independent analysis to confirm the finding

Varsome

Laboratory's policy on reporting novel variations Help
Novel variations suspected to be pathogenic are included in the routine reports. VUS are also reported. Non pathogenic variations are NOT reported as well as VUS with MAF>3%
