One Known Familial Variant in a Nuclear Gene

Test Overview

Clinical Utility

  • Carrier testing for a specific variant previously identified in a family
  • To order clinical laboratory confirmation of a variant identified at an outside clinical or research laboratory, please use test code 9001
  • If you would like to order a targeted testing of two variants in the same gene please use test code 9012
  • For specimens drawn in New York, carrier or targeted variant testing is an approved test if the family had previous testing at GeneDx or if the gene itself is in an approved single-gene test or multi-gene panel. In these situations it is not necessary to obtain individual NYSDOH permission.
