What This Test Measures

This test involves sequencing DNA extracted from your blood sample to identify full mutations (deletions, duplications, or substitutions) in a predefined set of genes. The results focus on detecting specific genetic variants that may be clinically relevant, such as those linked to hereditary disorders or cancer predispositions.

How the Test Works

Your blood sample is processed to isolate DNA. Advanced sequencing technology reads the genetic code to compare your DNA against a reference sequence for the targeted genes. The test may also assess copy number variations (CNVs) or structural rearrangements in the genes of interest.

Why It Might Be Ordered

A healthcare provider may recommend this test if you have a family history of genetic disorders, symptoms suggestive of a genetic condition, or if you are at higher risk for certain cancers or other inherited conditions. It can also be used for prenatal screening, carrier testing, or as part of a diagnostic workup.

Sample Collection and Preparation

A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm. The blood is processed to extract DNA, which is then prepared for sequencing. This process typically takes a few days to complete before results are available.

Clinical interpretation

How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.

Frequently asked questions

Genetic mutations detected by this test can indicate an increased risk for inherited conditions, guide personalized treatment plans, or inform decisions about family planning. Identifying these mutations helps healthcare providers tailor management strategies to your specific genetic profile.
This test may not detect all possible genetic variations or mutations. Results should always be interpreted by a healthcare professional familiar with genetic testing and your medical history.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result means that the test identified a known mutation in one of the targeted genes. This finding may suggest an increased risk for certain conditions, but it does not definitively diagnose a disease. Further evaluation by a genetic counselor or healthcare provider is recommended to discuss implications and next steps.
How long will it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the test and laboratory processing times. Your healthcare provider will contact you once results are ready.
