Variant Interpretation:
What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS?
Help
Variants are identified and evaluated using a custom collection of bioinformatic tools and comprehensively interpreted by our team of directors and genetic counselors.

This assay covers the coding and immediate flanking regions of the included genes. Variants in the promoter region and in other non-coding regions will not be detected. Variants that occur within regions of high homology and/or repetitiveness may not be detected due to issues with alignment. The technical sensitivity of …
