Targeted Variant Testing (TVT)
Overview
The NYGC’s Clinical Laboratory provides TVT services to independently confirm findings from a single gene, panel, exome and/or genome sequencing performed on a research basis. This test can also be utilized to confirm if a known familial mutation is present.

Ordering Instructions
A physician can order the test using the NYGC’s test requisition form and must obtain informed consent from the patient (in pediatric cases, the child’s parents) being tested. This test requires 5ml of blood drawn in an EDTA tube or saliva specimen collected in an Oragene Dx collection kit or DNA extracted in a CLIA-certified laboratory. Samples should be shipped to the NYGC overnight via FedEx. A courier service may also be feasible.
