Summary

This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0532U only for the Rapid Genome Sequencing Test from the University of California San Francisco Genomic Medicine Laboratory. This test sequences both the whole genome and mitochondrial DNA to detect genetic changes, including single–nucleotide variants (small changes in the DNA sequence), insertions or deletions of DNA segments, and copy number variations (changes in the number of copies of a gene). Results are reported as positive or negative for the variants analyzed, providing essential information for diagnosing rare hereditary diseases.
