Conditions

  • Carrier/Variant-Specific Testing
  • Carrier/Variant-Specific Testing - Nuclear Variants

Clinical Utility

  • Carrier testing for a specific variants previously identified in a family
  • Clinical laboratory confirmation of two or more variants identified in a research laboratory
  • If you would like to order a targeted testing of single variant in the same gene please use test code 9011
  • For specimens drawn in New York, carrier or targeted variant testing is an approved test if the family had previous testing at GeneDx or if the gene itself is in an approved single-gene test or multi-gene panel. In these situations it is not necessary to obtain individual NYSDOH permission.

Lab Method

  • Capillary Sequencing
