Suggested Custom Slice — Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Use
This custom Slice test enables exome-based analysis limited to a patient- or provider-specified gene list for inflammatory bowel disease, allowing targeted investigation when a defined oligogenic or single-gene phenotype is suspected. It leverages exome sequencing data focused on IBD-relevant genes for diagnostic insight while avoiding broad secondary findings.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Analysis is limited to genes specified by the ordering provider; ACMG secondary findings are not reported unless the genes are included in the custom list. Smaller deletions/duplications below three exons may not be reliably detected via NGS-CNV. The provider must accurately select relevant genes—GeneDx captures exome data but only analyzes the specified targets.
