Tests performed
Entire test performed in-house
Analytical Validity: Help
The sensitivity of DNA sequencing is over 99% for the detection of nucleotide base changes, small deletions and insertions in the regions analyzed.
Assay limitations: Help
Variants in regulatory regions and non-reported variants in untranslated regions may not be detected by this test. Large deletions/duplications involving an entire single exon or multiple exons and other complex genetic rearrangement events will not be identified using NGS or Sanger methodology. Although deletions and duplications in these genes will … View more
