Abstract
DNA-based screening in individuals without known risk factors potentially identifies those who may benefit from genetic counseling, early medical interventions, and/or avoidance of late or missed diagnoses. While not currently in widespread usage, technological advances in genetic analysis overcome barriers to access by enabling less labor-intensive and more cost-efficient means to discover variants of clinical importance. This study describes the technical validation of a 455-gene assay that is comprehensive both in its scope of medical conditions and variant detection capabilities.
