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.: GTR000576359.1

Variants Of Unknown Significance (VUS) Policy And Interpretation

What is the protocol for interpreting a variation as a VUS? HelpDescription of how the laboratory handles Variants of Unknown Significance. This may be a general statement for the laboratory and not specific to this test.: ACMG guidelines
What software is used to interpret novel variations? HelpList of the software applications that the lab uses to interpret novel variants. Examples for medical molecular genetics interpretation include: Melina II, MEME Suite, VISTACartagenia Bench, Alamut, SIFT, PolyPhen, Align-GVGD, GeneSplicer, laboratory proprietary internal software.: Medical Literature Review
What is the laboratory's policy on reporting novel variations? HelpDescription of how the lab reports novel variations, it may include who gets contacted and how (ex. person ordering the test will be contacted via telephone as soon as VUS is identified).: Report variants per ACMG guidelines on clinical report to ordering provider.
Are family members with defined clinical status recruited to assess significance of VUS without charge?HelpDoes the laboratory offer testing for a variant of unknown significance to family members, free of charge? (Is test offered to affected individuals and/or presumed obligate carriers to help determine clinical significance of a VUS?): No
Will the lab re-contact the ordering physician if variant interpretation changes? HelpDescription of laboratory procedures to monitor and address reinterpretation of genetic tests results over time, after issuing the report. Does laboratory systematically re-evaluate prior interpretations and generate new reports, or does the person ordering the test need to periodically recontact the labortory to inquire about changes in test interpretation?: Yes

Research

Is research allowed on the sample after clinical testing is complete?HelpAfter clinical testing is complete, does the laboratory perform any research testing using the submitted specimen? (Quality control is not considered as research for this question.): Not provided
