Clinkor®

Clinkor®

The Clinkor® test is based on the analysis of more than 5,000 clinically important genes, which have been associated with hereditary diseases. This test can be of great diagnostic value in cases of rare diseases or in cases of undetermined phenotypes.

When is the Clinkor® test recommended for diagnosis?

• Phenotype or family history data strongly involve a genetic etiology, but the phenotype does not correspond to a specific disorder for which a genetic test targeting a particular gene is available on a clinical basis.
• A patient presents with a defined genetic disorder that demonstrates a high degree of genetic heterogeneity, making multi-gene analysis a more practical approach.
• A patient has a possible genetic disorder, but specific genetic tests available have not given any diagnosis for this phenotype.
• First-degree relatives of a patient diagnosed with the Clinical Exome method.

Technical Information

Clinical Exome is performed using a special technology called Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). A DNA sample is collected from a blood sample given by the patient. The patient’s DNA is then compared to a reference sequence (representing the ‘normal’ sequence of human DNA) in an attempt to identify any differences between the patient’s DNA and the reference DNA. If there are differences, they are reviewed by our expert laboratory geneticists and your physician to classify the findings and determine their pathogenesis.

The test is performed on blood and requires 2 EDTA vials
