Can I send a different relative if a parent is unavailable for exome or genome testing?

Biological parents are typically the most informative specimens and are preferred whenever possible. If parents are unavailable, other relatives may be considered on a case-by-case basis. To review details of a specific case, you can contact a GeneDx Clinical Genomics Genetic Counselor at support@genedx.com or 1-888-729-1206.
