ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Few studies have systematically analyzed the structure and content of laboratory exome sequencing reports from the same patient.

METHODS:

We merged 8 variants from patients into "normal" exomes to create virtual patient-parent trios. We provided laboratories worldwide with the data and patient phenotype information (developmental delay, dysmorphic features, and cardiac hypertrophy). Laboratories analyzed the data and issued a diagnostic exome report. Reports were scored using a coding matrix developed from existing guidelines.

RESULTS:

In total, 41 laboratories representing 17 countries issued reports. Reporting of quality control statistics and technical information was poor (46.3%). Although 75.6% of the reports clearly stated the classification of all reported variants, few reports listed extensive evidence supporting variant classification. Only 53.1% of laboratories that reported unsolicited or secondary findings gave advice regarding health-related follow-up and 20.5% gave advice regarding cascade testing for relatives. Of the 147 variants reported, 105 (71.4%) were classified in agreement with classifications based on American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology and Association for Clinical Genomic Science guidelines. Concordance was higher for known pathogenic variants (86.3%) than for novel unpublished variants (56.8%).

CONCLUSION:

The considerable variability identified in the components that laboratories included in their reports and their classification of variants suggests that existing guidelines are not being used consistently with significant implications for patient care.
