Genomic Unity® Exome Analysis

CP002

Genomic Unity® Exome Analysis is a diagnostic test designed to identify genetic variants that correlate with the patient’s phenotype.

Test Description

Genomic Unity® Exome Analysis is a comprehensive test that uses a whole genome platform to detect all major clinically relevant variant types from a single sample. It analyzes patient DNA jointly with parental DNA when family samples are included.

Genomic Unity® Exome Analysis provides a single, unified clinical report that replaces a battery of tests including: whole exome sequencing (WES), chromosomal microarray (CMA), multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and single gene or targeted gene panel testing, as well as PCR and southern blot tests for short tandem repeat expansions.

When to Order

Order this test when:

  • Clinical symptoms may be caused by a variety of genes or genetic mechanisms, are suggestive of multiple conditions, or are atypical for a certain condition.
  • A specific diagnostic genetic test is not available.
  • The patient has had previous non-diagnostic genetic testing.

Included Analyses

  • Exome-wide sequence analysis including: single nucleotide variants, deletions, insertions, and characterized intronic and regulatory variants.
  • Genome-wide structural variant analysis including: copy number variants (CNVs), duplications/deletions, regions of homozygosity (ROH), uniparental disomy (UPD)*, mobile element insertions, inversions, and aneuploidy.
  • Short tandem repeat (STR) analysis of the AFF2, AR, ARX, ATN1, ATXN1, ATXN2, ATXN3, ATXN7, ATXN8OS, ATXN10, C9ORF72, CACNA1A, CNBP, CSTB, DIP2B, DMPK, FGF14, FMR1, FOXL2, FXN, GIPC1, GLS, HTT, JPH3, LRP12, NOP56, NOTCH2NLC, PABPN1, PHOX2B, PPP2R2B, RFC1, SOX3, TBP, TCF4, VWA1, ZFHX3, and ZIC2 genes.
