Turnaround Time (TAT)

At PreventionGenetics, we value the patient's need for fast turnaround time (TAT). We are continuously implementing process improvements that decrease TAT yet maintain the high quality you have come to expect from PreventionGenetics.

Shown below are our current average TATs by method based on the calendar days from when the specimen and completed order are received.

POSTNATAL Turnaround Times (TAT)

Method	Test	Avg TAT
NGS	PGnome and PGxome	5-7 weeks
	Panels	3 weeks**
	STAT (PGnome, PGxome, Panels)	2 weeks*
Sanger	Full Gene and Targeted Variants	4 weeks
	Repeat Expansions (Repeat Primed PCR)	3 weeks
	STAT	2 weeks*
aCGH	High Density Gene-Centric aCGH (Deletion/Duplication)	3 weeks
	Chromosomal Microarray (CMA)	3 weeks
	STAT	2 weeks*
MLPA	Deletion/Duplication	3 weeks
	STAT	2 weeks*

* Rapid surcharge will not apply if report is delivered after 16 days and blood sample was submitted

** Most standard panels have a TAT of 3 weeks, but please check the individual test description to confirm

Prenatal Turnaround Times (TAT)

See our Prenatal Policy to verify the clinical situation meets our testing policy. Prenatal TAT refers to testing ongoing pregnancies. Non-ongoing pregnancy TAT is reflected in the Postnatal TAT chart.

All tests for ongoing pregnancies are treated as high priority specimens.

Method	Test	Avg TAT
NGS	Panels	2 weeks
	PGxome	2 weeks
Sanger	Full Gene and Targeted Variants	2 weeks
aCGH	High Density Gene-Centric aCGH (Deletion/Duplication)	2 weeks
	Chromosomal Microarray (CMA)	1 week

In cases where we experience technical difficulties with specimen performance or determine that additional chemistries are needed to clarify results, our TAT may be extended to ensure that we get the test right. At PreventionGenetics, we do not sacrifice quality for the sake of TAT.
