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 0657U only for GenomeDx Rapid, Comparator from GeneDx. This test analyzes comparator nuclear and mitochondrial DNA using rapid whole genome sequencing by next–generation sequencing (NGS). It uses a blood or buccal sample and reports relevant comparator variants with the proband results. A comparator is a biological relative whose DNA is analyzed to help interpret results for the proband, who is the patient being tested. This test is used for rare constitutional or heritable disorders, which are genetic conditions caused by changes present in the body's cells that can be inherited or arise early in development.
