Genomic Unity® Exome Analysis

Test Description

Test Code – CP002

The diagnostic odyssey for unexplained genetic disorders is a frustrating and costly process for patients and their families. Potentially unnecessary delays identifying the molecular cause of a person’s symptoms may result in missed opportunities for changes in treatment  and limit inheritance information for family members.

The exome makes up approximately 1%-2% of the human genome; however, 85% of disease causing variants can be found in the exome. Genomic Unity® Exome Analysis takes full advantage of the Genomic Unity® single platform method, providing a full analysis driven by a person’s clinical features of small sequence changes, genome-wide structural variants and short tandem repeats expansions in relevant genes. 

Include family member samples for a duo or trio. Order directly, or reflex up from one of the available targeted Analyses.

When to order

Order this test when clinical symptoms can be caused by a wide variety of genes or genetic mechanisms, are suggestive of multiple conditions, are atypical for a certain condition, do not have specific diagnostic genetic test available, or have had previous non-diagnostic genetic testing. 

Included Analyses

  • Whole exome sequence analysis (single nucleotide variants, deletions, insertions, and characterized intronic and regulatory variants).
  • Genome-wide structural variant analysis (copy number variants, duplications/deletions, regions of homozygosity, uniparental disomy, 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.
