Overview
The primary purpose of the 2x150 HiSeq Sequencing (20GB) is to identify genetic mutations that may be responsible for a patient's symptoms. It serves as a powerful diagnostic tool for inherited disorders, enabling early intervention and informed reproductive decisions. The test is also used for pharmacogenomic profiling, carrier screening, and prenatal diagnosis in certain cases. By providing a comprehensive analysis of the genetic code, it helps clinicians differentiate between similar conditions and tailor treatment strategies to the individual's genetic makeup.

Sample Collection
No special preparation is required. However, it is important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may affect DNA quality.
Method: Blood or saliva sample for DNA extraction
Laboratory Analysis
A blood sample (5-10 ml) or saliva sample will be collected. For DNA extraction, the sample will be processed in the laboratory.
Report Delivery
You can resume normal activities immediately. The sample will be transported to the laboratory for analysis.
Timeline: Reports are typically available within 4 weeks from the date of sample receipt.

Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic
Known to cause disease; may explain the patient's symptoms.
Likely Pathogenic
Very likely to cause disease; further evidence may be needed.
Uncertain Significance
Insufficient evidence to determine if it is disease-causing; may require family studies.
Likely Benign
Probably not disease-causing.
Benign
Not disease-causing.
If you or your child have symptoms suggestive of a genetic disorder, or if you have a family history of a genetic condition, consult a healthcare provider or genetic counselor. They can help determine if genetic testing is appropriate and guide you through the process.
Limitations
- ⚠This test may not detect all types of genetic variations, such as large structural rearrangements or trinucleotide repeat expansions.
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be reported, requiring further family studies.
- ⚠Not intended for the diagnosis of acquired (somatic) mutations in cancer.
- ⚠Results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings and family history.
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk of bruising or infection at the blood draw site
- ●Psychological impact of receiving genetic information
- ●Potential for incidental findings unrelated to the reason for testing
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor quality or degraded DNA sample
- ●Contamination with non-human DNA
- ●Insufficient DNA quantity
- ●Presence of PCR inhibitors
- ●Sample mix-up or labeling errors
