Use
Diagnostic testing
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This assay may not consistently detect mosaicism and does not identify large chromosomal aberrations such as rearrangements and inversions that do not alter copy number. The test does not detect repeat expansions. False positives or negatives may result from insufficient variant insight, sex chromosome abnormalities, pseudogene interference, homologous regions, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants, mislabeled samples, or incorrect family relationship assumptions. Assay limitations include potential errors with low heteroplasmy levels, and clinical significance interpretations may evolve with new variant information.
