GCS will determine the pathogenicity of DNA sequence variants found real-time in patients and will customize clinical report text in collaboration with laboratory directors and genetic counselors. GCS are also responsible for quality control, technical assessment, copy number analysis, and other interpretive components of molecular diagnostics as outlined in curation standard operating procedures.
