  • When designing MGPTs, a proper gene vetting process may improve detection rates
  • Rates of clinically significant findings of MGPTs tend to increase with inclusion of genes with higher clinical validity scores
  • VUS rates of MGPTs tend to increase with inclusion of genes with limited clinical validity without increasing the mutation rate
