Advanced Trio (patient + parents)

This offers the same high quality service as our Advanced test, but comparison of the child’s genetic code to both birth parents has many benefits. It improves the detection rate (likelihood of finding a reason for the developmental disability) and helps us understand whether genetic variants are inherited from a parent or are de novo (new in the child). Knowing whether a variant is inherited or de novo can provide more detailed information during the post-test genetic counseling call which is included as part of the testing process.
