Genomic Inform®
Genomic Inform® is a screening test for healthy adults 18 years of age or older. This test screens for pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants that put the individual at risk of developing a genetic disorder. It also screens for pathogenic and likely pathogenic carrier variants for recessive genetic disorders – variants that on their own do not put the individual at risk of developing a genetic disorder but that may be passed on to a child.
Individuals exhibiting clinical symptoms should not have this test performed and should instead seek diagnostic testing.
When the patient is a healthy adult age 18 years or older and would like information about disease predisposition risk and carrier status.

SNVs and Indels up to 50bp
99.1% sensitivity
99.2% positive predictive value
Structural variants:
96% clinical sensitivity
Mitochondrial variants:
Reported when heteroplasmy is ≥5%
Short tandem repeats:
Full mutation tandem repeats, and in some cases intermediate and/or premutation repeats, are reported with the number of repeats. All reported tandem repeat expansions are confirmed by an orthogonal technology.
This test is not reimbursable by insurance payers.
