This is an untenable position, especially in light of the abundance of data demonstrating that genetic counselors not only are savvy about ordering tests but having them involved in the ...
If a high-risk, young patient returns a negative panel, additional testing such as whole-exome sequencing, genome-wide screening,26 and copy-number vibration analysis27 may be indicated. In addition, testing could result in identification of a variant of unknown significance or a pathogenic ...
