Limitations
The technologies used in this test do not detect germline mosaicism, large chromosomal aberrations including rearrangements and gene fusions, or variants in regions not included in this test. The variant classification may change over time with more information. There can be false positive or false negative results due to rare genetic variants, sex chromosome abnormalities, pseudogene interference, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplantation, somatic or tissue-specific mosaicism, mislabeled samples, or erroneous representation of family relationships. This test has not been cleared or approved by the FDA.
