Genomic Unity® Constitutional Genome-Wide Copy Number Variant Analysis
Test Description
Test Code – CP004
The Genomic Unity® Constitutional Genome-Wide Copy Number Variant Analysis is a whole genome sequence based test designed to identify chromosomal abnormalities that correlate with the patient’s clinical symptoms. The genetic changes identified in the test include copy number variants, duplications/deletions, regions of homozygosity, inversions, mobile element insertions, and aneuploidy.
Genomic Unity® Constitutional Genome-Wide Copy Number Variant Analysis is a comparable test to a chromosomal microarray (CMA). CMA has been recommended by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG), the Child Neurology Society (CNS), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the International Standard Cytogenomic Array (ISCA) Consortium.
