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 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)
- Short tandem repeat (STR) analysis for adult-onset movement disorder, with or without cognitive involvement: AR, ATN1, ATXN1, ATXN2, ATXN3, ATXN7, ATXN8OS, ATXN10, C9ORF72, CACNA1A, CNBP, CSTB, DMPK, FMR1, FXN, HTT, JPH3, NOP56, NOTCH2NLC, PABPN1, PPP2R2B, TBP
- STR analysis for early-onset intellectual disability disorders: AFF2, DIP2B, FMR1
- STR analysis for other disorders: PHOX2B, TCF4
Optionally includes:
- Reflex to Genomic Unity® Whole Genome Analysis
Test Performance
Short tandem repeats:
Due to the variable nature of repetitive sequences and sequence-specific differences in detection and repeat evaluation, orthogonal confirmation is performed on a case-by-case basis. Reportable pathogenic or intermediate repeat expansions may be reported with or without repeat count.
