Suggested Custom Slice - Obesity
Use
The GeneDx Suggested Custom Slice – Obesity test uses a “Slice” approach, where exome sequencing is performed but analysis is restricted to a custom‑selected gene list. It is appropriate when there is a defined phenotype related to obesity and a suitable comprehensive clinical test is unavailable, enabling focused genomic analysis while utilizing exome‑level data. This custom panel does not report ACMG secondary findings unless they are on the selected gene list.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Secondary findings outside the custom gene list are not reported. Analysis is limited to the requested gene set; variants in genes not included are not evaluated or returned. Prior exome testing at GeneDx (e.g., XomeDx) may be required or recommended.
