Lab Method

  • Next-Gen Sequencing

Important Information

As needed, based on the referring diagnosis and coverage achieved by the Slice-Ichthyosis for a given patient, critical exons with a high yield of mutations will be filled-in by dideoxy sequencing. For any autosomal recessive gene, if one definitive mutation is found by Slice sequencing, AND the gene fits the type of ichthyosis reported by the referring physician, capillary sequencing will be used to fill in sequence for exons that are not sufficiently covered (>10X) to find the second mutation. If no second mutation is found by sequencing, deletion/duplication analysis of that gene can be performed at no additional cost can be performed at no additional cost. Patient samples sent for Slice will not be evaluated for secondary findings and therefore will not receive secondary findings as part of their result.
