Introducing: Prenatal ExomeSeq Testing

The Genetics and Genomics Diagnostic Laboratory at Cincinnati Children's now offers rapid clinical exome sequencing services for pregnancies where the fetuses have structural anomalies, and a genetic cause is suspected. The Prenatal ExomeSeq provides preliminary results (verbal or written) within 15 days for a provider-defined list of genes (up to 15 genes without Sanger confirmations). Final report delivered with full exome sequencing analysis and Sanger confirmation in 30 days.
