Genomic Unity® Whole Genome Analysis
Test Description
Test Code – CP001
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.
Genomic Unity® Whole Genome Analysis takes full advantage of the Genomic Unity® single platform method, providing a full analysis driven by a person’s clinical features of all relevant genes and variant types.
Include family member samples for a duo or trio. Order directly, or reflex up from one of the available targeted analyses.
When to order
Genomic Unity® Whole Genome Analysis is ideal for people with clinical symptoms that can be caused by a 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. Whole Genome Analysis can be ordered as a first-line test or when previous testing was non-diagnostic. When ordered as a first-line test, the diagnostic testing odyssey can be shortened compared to a traditional step-wise approach, and prior authorization may be more likely to be approved.
Included Analyses
- Genome-wide sequence analysis (single nucleotide variants, deletions/insertions, intronic, regulatory, and intergenic variants)
- Genome-wide structural variant analysis (copy number variants, duplications/deletions, regions of homozygosity, uniparental disomy, mobile element insertions, inversions, and aneuploidy)
- Mitochondrial genome sequence analysis with heteroplasmy (≥5%) and large deletion analysis
- 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 other disorders: PHOX2B, TCF4
Optionally includes:
- ACMG Secondary Findings
- Genomic Unity® Pharmacogenomics Analysis for general pharmacogenomics.
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.
