Test purpose: Help
Diagnosis; Monitoring; Pre-symptomatic; Prognostic; Recurrence; Risk Assessment
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.

Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge? Help
Decline to answer.

Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? Help
Yes.
