Also known as: Factor XIII Genetic Sequencing, Factor XIII Mutation Analysis
Use
Diagnostic testing
Special Instructions

Limitations
This genetic analysis assay does not consistently detect mosaicism or large chromosomal aberrations that do not change copy numbers, such as rearrangements and inversions. It does not detect repeat expansions and may yield false positive or false negative results due to rare genetic variants, pseudogene interference, homologous regions, or errors associated with mislabeled samples. The assay is limited in detecting low levels of heteroplasmy and may not interpret clinical significance due to limitations in available variant data at the time of reporting. Changes in interpretation may occur as more clinical data becomes available.
