This is a laboratory test that analyzes a particular gene to look for a specific genetic change linked to an inherited condition or a disease risk. Which gene is examined depends on the medical reason the test was ordered, such as a family history of a certain condition or a diagnosis that needs genetic confirmation. The analysis involves techniques of moderate technical complexity compared with simpler single-variant genetic checks.
