Abstract excerpt
Clinical laboratories performing gene sequencing discover previously unreported and/or uncharacterized variants. Often these are missense or intronic mutations in which the contribution to disease cannot be predicted, and consequently these mutations are reported as variants of uncertain significance. Follow-up to assess family concordance is recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics to provide...
