Note
Additional information related to the test.
F8 inversion testing is performed on all specimens. If inversion testing does not explain the clinical scenario, then F8 gene sequencing will be added. If sequencing does not explain the clinical scenario, then deletion/duplication testing will be added. Additional charges apply.
