Ambry is the only laboratory to provide complimentary studies that produce novel evidence to reduce variants of unknown significance (VUS) so that you can provide clear results to patients.
We offer specialized studies, such as targeted RNA analysis of splicing variants and RNA/DNA tandem analysis, providing the necessary data points to better define whether a VUS is benign (normal variation) or pathogenic (disease-causing).
Over 1.5 million tests completed means a large database to leverage for test optimization and variant assessment.
Continued review of variants enabled us to reclassify > 650 variants in 2017 alone, bringing further clarity to patients and families who may have received a VUS result.
Follow-up testing of appropriate family members which can provide additional, powerful information to aid in VUS resolution.
