It can analyse a clinically curated and targeted set of 236 genes, allowing healthcare providers and patients to obtain a precise genetic diagnosis and gain improved insights into prognosis and expected disease progression.

The panel uses an exome backbone that can extract a specific subset of genes for clinical reporting.

This allows for the identification of single nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, as well as copy number variants with high read depths.

Healthcare providers can opt for a whole exome sequencing precision diagnostic test if panel results are negative, enabling a wider analysis to attain a genetic diagnosis.
