Variant Classification

Overview:

GenQA is the only genomics EQA provider offering this unique group of EQAs which are designed for laboratories/centres describing and/or classifying genomic variants and cover an extensive scope of clinical scenarios and associated conditions/genes.


These highly popular EQAs are supported by an international team of expert advisors using current published Best Practice guidelines, taking into account local practice where stated (if appropriate). In addition to classification EQAs, we also provide EQAs for the interpretation of RNA splicing variants.

 

Variant classification, interpretation and reporting are also incorporated into many other GenQA EQAs (see catalogue for further information).

 

Summary Information:

Assess your SNV and CNV classification in the germline and somatic settings.

  • EQAs delivered in accordance with the international standard ISO 17043 for proficiency testing providers.
  • Cases based on real patient scenarios and testing results
  • 6 weeks to submit results
  • Submitted results are assessed by an expert scientific panel against published guidelines.
  • Each participant receives an Individual Laboratory Report (ILR) and EQA summary report detailing general findings, common errors and benchmarking against other laboratories worldwide.

 

Classification and interpretation of germline CNVs (VCNVG)
Classification of the pathogenicity of prenatal and postnatal CNVs.
Classification and interpretation of germline SNVs and indels (VGI)
Classification and interpretation of germline sequence variants. Submit either an interpretative clinical report or variant classification only (dependent on the scope of your laboratory).
Updated: 2026 EQA: Classification only submissions will be accepted.
Classification of haematological sequence variants (pilot) (VHC)
