Predictive/Familial Variant Testing

Predictive/familial variant testing is available for genes which are currently tested in-house. Testing for variants in other genes may be available upon request, please contact the laboratory prior to specimen collection. The interpretation of the variant classification is performed if ?RECLASSIFICATION? is specifically stated on the request for the genotype positive case.

All Predictive Familial Variant Testing: (asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic) must be referred through Genetic Services.

Symptomatic Familial Variant Testing: can be ordered by an appropriate medical professional specialist.

Turnaround Times

• Predictive/familial variant analysis using sanger-based sequencing or digital droplet PCR: within 6 weeks
• Trinucleotide repeat expansion analysis: within 6 weeks
• MLPA and MS-MLPA analysis: within 6 weeks
• Hereditary cancer panel: within 8 weeks
• MODY gene panel: within 12 weeks
