Entire test performed in-house
Analytical Validity: Help
For diagnostic sequencing we require a minimal coverage of 30 high-quality, uniquely mapping non-duplicate reads over at least 97% of the target region. At this level, the lowest expected sensitivity is 99.998%. Pathogenic and unclear variants are resequenced using Sanger sequencing, providing a second, independent, confirmation.
