Total BluePrint Panel
Test Information:	The Total Blueprint Panel is a test comprised of approximately 4,800 known Mendelian disease causing genes. This test focuses on the regions of the genes that contain important sequences of DNA that serve as the blueprint for essential proteins important for proper body function. These regions of DNA are referred to as exons. It is known that most of the errors that occur in DNA sequences that then lead to genetic disorders are located in the exons. In contrast to other sequencing tests that analyze anywhere from one gene to hundreds of genes, yet could still miss the culprit gene, the Total Blueprint Panel will analyze all the exonic regions of the 4,800 or so genes at one time in order to identify the rare changes in an individual's DNA that are contributing to their medical concerns.
