Special Instructions

This specimen should be collected from the father of the patient for whom Whole Exome Sequencing - DUO (Proband) [620023] or Whole Exome Sequencing - TRIO (Proband) [620022] is being ordered. The test to be ordered for the father is Whole Exome Sequencing Comparator - Father [620197].

Expected Turnaround Time

2 - 4 weeks

Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.

    Test Details

    Use

    Whole exome sequencing (WES) is a genetic test used to identify a hertiable cause of disorder. This test should be used in cases of WES Duo or Trio sequencing where the father can be used as a comparator to inform the diagnosis of the proband.

    Limitations

    This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by LabCorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
