Clinical Diagnostic Sanger Sequencing Service at Garvan Molecular Genetics
Confirmatory Sanger Sequencing Service (level 1)
Our sequencing facility is NATA ISO 15189 accredited to perform Sanger Sequencing for confirmation of defined mutations or polymorphisms or detecting heterozygous loci. We can only perform confirmatory sequencing which means the results must have been generated by whole genome or exome sequencing or microarray analysis before the samples are submitted to our service. We will then extract DNA from patient blood, design PCR primers, amplify the DNA, set up Bigdye reaction, perform capillary separation and analyse the results. We will issue a technical report which needs to be interpreted by a clinical pathologist to be clinically relevant.
Sample Submission Forms
The sample submission process is explained in the sample submission guidelines. Please use our online sample submission portal for sample submission and if needed send the patient consent form via email (Access to our Online Sample Submission Portal) .
