The power of Knowing

DETAILS
• Targeted sequencing focuses on 10-199 specific genes and sequences that target a high level of coverage without generating significant quantities of non-target data. This increases the chance of finding biologically relevant variants.
• MedEx provides panels organized by 10 different body systems and also a wide range of smaller gene panels selected for specific monogenic diseases.

DESCRIPTION
Test Time, Result Turnaround, Email Delivery
• The approximate service time for this package is 10-20 minutes.
• Test results are typically available within 15-35 business days and will be delivered via email.
• Blood sample will be collected for 5 cc.
• There is no need to withhold water and food prior to the blood drawn.

Who should consider the Genetic Testing for 1445 Monogenic Disease?
• Intended for use in conjunction with the clinical presentation and other markers of disease progression for the management of patients with rare genetic disorders.
• Patient who has a family history of monogenic disease.

General Information
Monogenic disease is also called Mendelian disease, which results from the modifications in a single gene. They are inherited according to Mendel's Laws; the mutation can be inherited from parents or spontaneous where there is no previous family history and, in both cases, can be passed to the next generation. There are more than 7000 different types of disease found to be monogenic disease and overall morbidity shows 10/1000 worldwide according to the WHO.
