A genetic laboratory test that looks for one specific, well-established genetic change using a relatively simple laboratory technique. It represents the most basic tier of gene-based testing, generally used to check for a single known variant tied to a specific condition or trait rather than scanning a gene broadly. The exact gene and variant tested depends on why the test was ordered.
