- GTR Test IDHelpEach Test is a specific, orderable test from a particular laboratory, and is assigned a unique GTR accession number. The format is GTR00000001.1, with a leading prefix 'GTR' followed by 8 digits, a period, then 1 or more digits representing the version. When a laboratory updates a registered test, a new version number is assigned.: GTR000553630.4

Research testHelpIn the U.S., clinical tests must be performed under CLIA certification. When a lab uses the same methods for a test in both clinical and research settings, the test appears as two separate GTR records. for Bardet-Biedl syndrome

Overview
Test name
HelpThe name the laboratory assigns the test. Used as the default title of the page specific to the test.Retinal dystrophy
Purpose of the test
HelpIf the test is being performed for the purpose of contributing to generalizable knowledge, then in general, the intent is to publish the study results and a research ethics committee (e.g., IRB) will have reviewed the study protocol. If the test being performed so the lab can generate data to make technical improvements to a test, there may not be a protocol available for review.Contribute to generalizable knowledge
