Test procedure

Help

Next-generation sequencing and/or Sanger sequencing are performed. Regions of homology, high guanine-cytosine (GC)-rich content, and repetitive sequences may not provide accurate sequence. Therefore, all reported alterations detected by next-generation sequencing in these regions are confirmed by an independent reference method. However, this does not rule out the possibility of a false-negative result in these regions.
