Familial Variant Analysis
When genetic testing identifies one or more variants in a patient, follow on testing of family members may be desirable. Targeted variant testing may:
- Help with classification of a variant by determining if it is de novo or shared with other family members.
- Allow for early detection and/or possible prevention of the identified condition in at-risk family members.
- Allow for identification of reproductive risk for potential carriers of the variant, enabling informed family planning.
At Variantyx we offer three types of familial variant testing which differ by the variant type being tested.
Genomic Unity® Test | When to Order | Cost |
Genomic Unity® Familial Targeted Analysis | When testing for small sequence changes, structural variants and/or mitochondrial variants present in the original patient’s test. | $500 |
Genomic Unity® Familial Targeted Analysis (Repeat Expansion) | When testing for repeat expansions present in the original patient’s test. | $600 |
Genomic Unity® Familial Targeted Variant Analysis (Multiple Variant Types) | When testing for small sequence changes, structural variants and/or mitochondrial variants, in combination with selected repeat expansions, present in the original patient’s test. | $850 |
