| GENERAL INFORMATION | |
|---|---|
| Expected TAT | 14 - 21 days In some cases, additional time may be required for confirmatory or reflex tests. |
| Clinical Use | Limitations: Technologies used do not detect germline mosaicism and do not rule out the presence of large chromosomal aberrations including rearrangements and gene fusions, or variants in regions or genes not included in this test, or possible inter/intragenic interactions between variants, or repeat expansions. Variant classification and/or interpretation may change over time if more information becomes available. False positive or false negative results may occur for reasons that include: rare genetic variants, sex chromosome abnormalities, pseudogene interference, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplantation, somatic or tissue-specific mosaicism, mislabeled samples, or erroneous representation of family relationships. This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration. |
