Eligibility Criteria

Testing Criteria
Cascade testing for known chromosomal rearrangement or family follow-up for possible balanced chromosomal rearrangement. [TCA/Karyotype as appropriate].

NB: Application of either karyotype or TCA will be directed by professional judgement, best practice recommendation, clinical context and/or the type of cytogenetic rearrangement(s) detected. Due to the nature of cytogenetic analysis, reportable cytogenetic incidental findings may be detected during TCA.
