  • MGP are useful to provide low cost, quick testing that avoids incidental findings.
  • Comprehensive array and MLPA tests included in MGP help to detected gross indels in targeted genes.
  • DES testing has the advantage of routinely identifying de novo alterations, novel genetic etiologies and classifying VUS by segregation information.
  • MGP that include parental testing for co-segregation analysis can help to improve the diagnostic yield and reduce
