OUR NETWORK
VEGA is a bioinformatics analysis software for samples that have been processed using NIPT IVD kits — VERACITY and VERACITY High Content (HC) — or TarCET kits. VEGA performs analysis on NGS data generated by the NIPT or TarCET workflows. The NIPT analysis provides fetal fraction estimation and binary classification of samples into high risk or low risk for trisomy 21, 18, 13, Sex Chromosome Aneuploidies (SCAs), selected microdeletions, and monogenic diseases. The TarCET analysis detects single nucleotide variants, short insertions and/or deletions and copy number alterations. Additionally, VEGA can be used for TarCET PGT to detect aneuploidies and structural rearrangements in embryos created for In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF).
Medicover Genetics’ versatile Technology Transfer platform can be integrated in a single workflow, offering a multidisciplinary portfolio of genetic tests. VERACITY, VERACITY High Content (HC) and TarCET kits are CE-marked and include user friendly color identification formatting. VERACITY and VERACITY HC kits contain 96 reactions and TarCET kits contain 16 reactions.
Our Technology Transfer workflow integrates VERACITY and VERACITY High Content (HC) NIPT and TarCET kits for the provision of in-house genetic testing. Multiple assays can be run simultaneously in consolidated workflows, with minimized hands-on time and re-runs, maintaining laboratory proficiency and sample handling efficiency.
Our Technology Transfer workflow delivers accurate results, while the pre- and post-deployment process initiated by Medicover Genetics, is focused on delivering excellent customer service, efficient operational management, laboratory and commercial training, and solutions for unique laboratory pain points.

Technical Limitations for FH, PH and RAS
The test aims to detect all variants relevant to the genes listed above by targeting all coding exons, of MANE or/and Canonical transcripts, and 12 bp of adjacent intronic sequence. Variants that fall outside of the targeted regions are not intended to be detected by this assay. Unless otherwise noted, sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in the promoter and other non-coding regions are not covered by this assay. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in non-coding regions of selected genes that are of clinical significance are also included in the analysis. In cases where two variants are identified in a gene, the test does not distinguish whether these are on one chromosome (in cis) or on different chromosomes (in trans). Certain types of genetic abnormalities such as inversions, rearrangements, polyploidy and epigenetic effects are not covered by this test. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in targeted regions containing repeats, sequences of high homology such as segmental duplications and pseudogenes, as well as regions of high/low GC-content may not be detected. Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are calculated using high quality, de-duplicated and uniquely aligned sequencing reads. CNVs are detected for a subset of the targeted regions using a depth of sequencing coverage approach by applying GC-content normalization. Genomic regions are called as variants if their normalized depth of coverage deviates significantly from the expected normalized coverage which is estimated from a set of reference clinical samples. The test can detect CNVs down to a few exons level resolution. The test cannot detect CNVs at genomic regions with either low mappability or containing repeats, pseudogenes and high/low GC-content. Detection of CNVs using NGS has lower sensitivity/specificity than orthogonal quantification methods, therefore the absence of reported CNVs does not guarantee the absence of CNVs. The lack of disease-causing variants in the targeted genes diminishes but does not exclude the possibility of a disease associated syndrome. Although the test is highly accurate there is still a possibility for false positive or false negative results.

Technical Limitations
The test aims to detect all variants relevant to the genes listed above by targeting all coding exons, of MANE or/and Canonical transcripts, and 12 bp of adjacent intronic sequence. Variants that fall outside of the targeted regions are not intended to be detected by this assay. Unless otherwise noted, sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in the promoter and other non-coding regions are not covered by this assay. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in non-coding regions of selected genes that are of clinical significance are also included in the analysis. In cases where two variants are identified in a gene, the test does not distinguish whether these are on one chromosome (in cis) or on different chromosomes (in trans). Certain types of genetic abnormalities such as inversions, rearrangements, polyploidy and epigenetic effects are not covered by this test. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in targeted regions containing repeats, sequences of high homology such as segmental duplications and pseudogenes, as well as regions of high/low GC-content may not be detected. Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are calculated using high quality, de-duplicated and uniquely aligned sequencing reads. CNVs are detected for a subset of the targeted regions using a depth of sequencing coverage approach by applying GC-content normalization. Genomic regions are called as variants if their normalized depth of coverage deviates significantly from the expected normalized coverage which is estimated from a set of reference clinical samples. The test can detect CNVs down to a few exons level resolution. The test cannot detect CNVs at genomic regions with either low mappability or containing repeats, pseudogenes and high/low GC-content. Detection of CNVs using NGS has lower sensitivity/specificity than orthogonal quantification methods, therefore the absence of reported CNVs does not guarantee the absence of CNVs. The lack of disease-causing variants in the targeted genes diminishes but does not exclude the possibility of a disease associated syndrome. Although the test is highly accurate there is still a possibility for false positive or false negative results.

Variants that fall outside of the targeted regions are not intended to be detected by this assay. Unless otherwise noted, sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in the promoter and other deep intronic regions are not covered by this assay. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in non-coding regions of selected genes that are of clinical significance are also included in the analysis. In cases where two variants are identified in a gene, the test does not distinguish whether these are on one chromosome (in cis) or on different chromosomes (in trans).

Genomic regions are called as variants if their normalized depth of coverage deviates significantly from the expected normalized coverage which is estimated from a set of reference clinical samples. The test can detect CNVs down to a few exons level resolution. The test cannot detect CNVs at genomic regions with either low capability or containing repeats, pseudogenes and high/low GC-content. Detection of CNVs using NGS has lower sensitivity/specificity than orthogonal quantification methods, therefore the absence of reported CNVs does not guarantee the absence of CNVs.

The test can detect CNVs down to a few exons level resolution. The test cannot detect CNVs at genomic regions with either low mappability or containing repeats, pseudogenes and high/low GC-content. Detection of CNVs using NGS has lower sensitivity/specificity than orthogonal quantification methods, therefore the absence of reported CNVs does not guarantee the absence of CNVs. The lack of disease-causing variants in the targeted genes diminishes but does not exclude the possibility of a disease associated syndrome. Although the test is highly accurate there is still a possibility for false positive or false negative results.

The test aims to detect all variants relevant to the genes listed above by targeting all coding exons, of MANE or/and Canonical transcripts, and 12 bp of adjacent intronic sequence. Variants that fall outside of the targeted regions are not intended to be detected by this assay. Unless otherwise noted, sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in the promoter and other non-coding regions are not covered by this assay. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in non-coding regions of selected genes that are of clinical significance are also included in the analysis. In cases where two variants are identified in a gene, the test does not distinguish whether these are on one chromosome (in cis) or on different chromosomes (in trans). Certain types of genetic abnormalities such as inversions, rearrangements, polyploidy and epigenetic effects are not covered by this test. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in targeted regions containing repeats, sequences of high homology such as segmental duplications and pseudogenes, as well as regions of high/low GC-content may not be detected. Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are calculated using high quality, de-duplicated and uniquely aligned sequencing reads. CNVs are detected for a subset of the targeted regions using a depth of sequencing coverage approach by applying GC-content normalization. Genomic regions are called as variants if their normalized depth of coverage deviates significantly from the expected normalized coverage which is estimated from a set of reference clinical samples. The test can detect CNVs down to a few exons level resolution. The test cannot detect CNVs at genomic regions with either low mappability or containing repeats, pseudogenes and high/low GC-content. Detection of CNVs using NGS has lower sensitivity/specificity than orthogonal quantification methods, therefore the absence of reported CNVs does not guarantee the absence of CNVs. The lack of disease-causing variants in the targeted genes diminishes but does not exclude the possibility of a disease associated syndrome. Although the test is highly accurate there is still a possibility for false positive or false negative results.

Technical Limitations
The test aims to detect all variants relevant to the genes listed above by targeting all coding exons, of MANE or/and Canonical transcripts, and 12 bp of adjacent intronic sequence. Variants that fall outside of the targeted regions are not intended to be detected by this assay. Unless otherwise noted, sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in the promoter and other non-coding regions are not covered by this assay. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in non-coding regions of selected genes that are of clinical significance are also included in the analysis. In cases where two variants are identified in a gene, the test does not distinguish whether these are on one chromosome (in cis) or on different chromosomes (in trans). Certain types of genetic abnormalities such as inversions, rearrangements, polyploidy and epigenetic effects are not covered by this test. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in targeted regions containing repeats, sequences of high homology such as segmental duplications and pseudogenes, as well as regions of high/low GC-content may not be detected. Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are calculated using high quality, de-duplicated and uniquely aligned sequencing reads. CNVs are detected for a subset of the targeted regions using a depth of sequencing coverage approach by applying GC-content normalization. Genomic regions are called as variants if their normalized depth of coverage deviates significantly from the expected normalized coverage which is estimated from a set of reference clinical samples. The test can detect CNVs down to a few exons level resolution. The test cannot detect CNVs at genomic regions with either low mappability or containing repeats, pseudogenes and high/low GC-content. Detection of CNVs using NGS has lower sensitivity/specificity than orthogonal quantification methods, therefore the absence of reported CNVs does not guarantee the absence of CNVs. The lack of disease-causing variants in the targeted genes diminishes but does not exclude the possibility of a disease associated syndrome. Although the test is highly accurate there is still a possibility for false positive or false negative results.

Technical Limitations
This test aims to detect all variants relevant to hereditary cancer predisposition in the genes (MANE and/or canonical transcripts) listed above, by targeting the exons, 20 bp of adjacent intronic sequence, selected untranslated regions (UTR) and promoter regions. Variants that fall outside of the targeted regions are not intended to be detected by this assay. Unless otherwise noted, sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in the promoter and other deep intronic regions are not covered by this assay. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in non-coding regions of selected genes that are of clinical significance are also included in the analysis. In cases where two variants are identified in a gene, the test does not distinguish whether these are on one chromosome (in cis) or on different chromosomes (in trans).

CNVs are detected for a subset of the targeted regions using a depth of sequencing coverage approach by applying GC-content normalization. Genomic regions are called as variants if their normalized depth of coverage deviates significantly from the expected normalized coverage which is estimated from a set of reference clinical samples. The test can detect CNVs down to a few exons level resolution. The test cannot detect CNVs at genomic regions with either low capability or containing repeats, pseudogenes and high/low GC-content. Detection of CNVs using NGS has lower sensitivity/specificity than orthogonal quantification methods, therefore the absence of reported CNVs does not guarantee the absence of CNVs. The lack of disease-causing variants in the targeted genes diminishes but does not exclude the possibility of a disease associated syndrome.

ACADM, ASPA, BLM, CFTR, DHCR7, DMD, ELP1, FANCC, GALT, GBA, GJB2, GJB6, HBA1, HBA2, HBB, HEXA, MCOLN1, PAH, SMPD1
Technical Specifications
● DMD: Deletion/Duplication analysis at single exon resolution is not offered for NM_004006.3 (DMD): exon 1, exon 2, exon 23, exon 25, exon 26, exon 27, exon 28, exon 31, exon 33, exon 34, exon 35, exon 36, exon 38, exon 39, exon 40, exon 41, exon 42, exon 54, exon 58, exon 60, exon 67, exon 69, exon 71, exon 72, exon 73, exon 75, exon 77, exon 78.
● HBA1/2: the assay is designed to detect deletions and duplications of HBA1 and HBA2. All positive Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are confirmed using an orthogonal method. The test does not distinguish among the different HBA types of deletions/duplications, and any variant identified will be called as HBA loss/gain.
● Genomic regions not covered by this test:
• NM_020533.3 (MCOLN1): exon 1
• NM_004006.3 (DMD): exon 23
Technical Limitations
The test aims to detect all variants relevant to the genes listed above by targeting all coding exons, of MANE or/and Canonical transcripts, and 12 bp of adjacent intronic sequence. Variants that fall outside of the targeted regions are not intended to be detected by this assay. Unless otherwise noted, sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in the promoter and other non-coding regions are not covered by this assay. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in non-coding regions of selected genes that are of clinical significance are also included in the analysis. In cases where two variants are identified in a gene, the test does not distinguish whether these are on one chromosome (in cis) or on different chromosomes (in trans). Certain types of genetic abnormalities such as inversions, rearrangements, polyploidy and epigenetic effects are not covered by this test. Certain sequence changes (SNVs and INDELS) in targeted regions containing repeats, sequences of high homology such as segmental duplications and pseudogenes, as well as regions of high/low GC-content may not be detected. Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are calculated using high quality, de-duplicated and uniquely aligned sequencing reads. CNVs are detected for a subset of the targeted regions using a depth of sequencing coverage approach by applying GC-content normalization. Genomic regions are called as variants if their normalized depth of coverage deviates significantly from the expected normalized coverage which is estimated from a set of reference clinical samples. The test can detect CNVs down to a few exons level resolution. The test cannot detect CNVs at genomic regions with either low mappability or containing repeats, pseudogenes and high/low GC-content. Detection of CNVs using NGS has lower sensitivity/specificity than orthogonal quantification methods, therefore the absence of reported CNVs does not guarantee the absence of CNVs. The lack of disease-causing variants in the targeted genes diminishes but does not exclude the possibility of a disease associated syndrome. Although the test is highly accurate there is still a possibility for false positive or false negative results.
