Genomic interpretation that says plainly what it could not examine.
Thirteen genomic services for hospitals, specialists and laboratories. Start from your own sequencing data or from a sample — the interpretation is ours, delivered for review and signature by a qualified professional.
Thirteen services, one commitment
Choose by the question you have and the data you hold. Every service ends in an interpretation report, prepared for review and signature by a qualified professional, with an explicit statement of what was evaluable and what was not.

Second Opinion & Reanalysis and the services for laboratories work on results and data you already hold, so they are described below rather than compared here.
Preventive Exome
A broad look at medically actionable genes, carrier status and drug-response genes in a single exome analysis, for prevention-oriented programmes that start without one specific question.
- Medically actionable genes, including the ACMG secondary-findings list, reported against current expert-panel criteria
- Carrier status for recessive and X-linked conditions, at the screening level you choose
- A complete pharmacogenomics section, with CYP2D6 interpreted on its own terms
- ACMG/AMP classification of every reported variant, with the criteria behind each call
- An optional phenotype-driven section (HPO terms welcome) placed ahead of the preventive modules when a question exists
- An explicit per-gene evaluability statement: which genes were examined, and which were not
- Secondary findings reported only where consent covers them
A preventive exome does not rule out a genetic condition. It reports what current evidence supports in the genes examined, and states plainly which genes could not be evaluated.
At a glance
- For whom
- Preventive-medicine centres, hospital units and laboratories offering preventive genomics from an exome.
- You send
- Existing exome or genome data, or a saliva or blood sample if the sequencing has not been done
- You get
- Interpretation report, prioritised findings with their evidence, and the evaluability annex
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data, or up to 30 working days from a sample
Preventive Genome
The Preventive Exome applied to a whole genome, with polygenic risk added as a fifth module. One sequencing run, five modules that stand on their own.
- Medically actionable genes, including the ACMG secondary-findings list, with consent
- Carrier status at the screening level you choose, with SMN1 copy number for spinal muscular atrophy
- The complete pharmacogenomics report
- Polygenic risk with the ancestry inferred and the calibration recorded
- ACMG/AMP classification of whatever is found, with an optional phenotype-driven section ahead of the modules
- Per-gene evaluability for every module
A genome gives more uniform coverage than an exome, but the variant interpretation of this service stays within the exome (coding exons and splice sites) and the report says so. Structural variants and repeat expansions belong to the Complete Genome.
At a glance
- For whom
- Preventive-medicine centres and laboratories that want preventive genomics, polygenic risk included, in a single analysis.
- You send
- Whole-genome data at 30x or higher, or ask us about whole-genome sequencing from a sample
- You get
- Interpretation report with five independent modules and per-gene evaluability
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data. From a sample, we confirm the date when the case is accepted
Complete Genome
Everything in the Preventive Genome, plus the layers that an exome, and most pipelines, cannot see: copy-number and structural variants, repeat expansions, HLA and KIR types, and genes hidden by pseudogenes.
- Structural variants classified with ACMG/ClinGen criteria; positive events are flagged for orthogonal confirmation
- Repeat-expansion loci with thresholds, coverage and a verdict for each locus
- Predictive protocol: late-onset neurodegenerative loci, Huntington disease among them, are withheld from the report unless specific consent exists
- The blind regions of every method are listed, so a gap is never presented as a clear result
- Per-layer evaluability, in the same report as the preventive modules
Mitochondrial DNA and runs of homozygosity are not analysed yet. The report declares them as not analysed instead of implying that they were examined.
At a glance
- For whom
- Specialist centres and reference laboratories that want the whole genome read in one report.
- You send
- Whole-genome data at 30x or higher, or ask us about whole-genome sequencing from a sample
- You get
- Interpretation report with every layer, its evaluability and its blind regions
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data. From a sample, we confirm the date when the case is accepted
Nine layers in one report
The first five come from the Preventive Genome. The last four are what the Complete Genome adds.
Sequence variants
SNVs and small indels in the exome (coding exons and splice sites), classified with ACMG/AMP criteria.
Actionable genes
Medically actionable genes, including the ACMG secondary-findings list, with consent.
Carrier status
Recessive and X-linked conditions, with SMN1 copy number on whole-genome data.
Pharmacogenomics
The complete gene–drug report, CYP2D6 copy number included.
Polygenic risk
Percentiles within the inferred ancestry, behind a coverage gate.
Copy-number and structural variants
Genome-wide, not limited to a panel, classified with ACMG/ClinGen CNV criteria.
Repeat expansions
Repeat-expansion loci with thresholds and a predictive-testing protocol.
HLA and KIR
HLA alleles with their pharmacogenetic implications, and KIR genes.
Genes hidden by pseudogenes
SMN1/SMN2, GBA and PMS2 resolved with dedicated methods, and declared where they cannot be.
Exome Focus
The full exome is sequenced, but interpretation is focused on the genes relevant to the question being asked, so the report answers the question instead of listing every variant.
- Phenotype-driven prioritisation, HPO terms welcome
- ACMG/AMP classification with the full criteria ledger for every reported variant
- Reanalysis of the same data against a different question if the picture changes, with no new sequencing
- Per-gene evaluability for the focused gene set
- Option to widen the analysis to the full exome without re-sequencing
- Secondary findings from the ACMG list, only where consent covers them
- Variant types this service does not analyse, such as copy-number variants, are named in the report
Focusing the interpretation is a scientific choice, not a technical shortcut: the data is complete, and the genes that were not examined stay available for later reanalysis.
At a glance
- For whom
- Specialists and laboratories with a defined phenotype or a short list of candidate conditions who want a focused answer rather than a variant dump.
- You send
- Existing FASTQ, BAM or VCF, or a sample if the sequencing has not been done, plus the question and phenotype
- You get
- Interpretation report for the focused gene set, with the evidence behind each call
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data, or up to 30 working days from a sample
Gene Panels by Indication
Curated gene sets for 28 indications, from cardiology and neurology to nephrology, metabolism and immunology, for when the list of candidate conditions is already narrow.
- Panels defined by indication, built from high-confidence gene–disease evidence
- Several panels can be run on the same data, each delivered as its own report
- Per-gene coverage and evaluability reported for every panel
- Genes of the indication without enough coverage are listed, so a negative is only stated where the region was well covered
- Extendable to Exome Focus on the same data if the panel comes back negative
A negative panel result is only as strong as its coverage. Every panel report states which genes were fully evaluable and which were not. Need a gene set that is not on the list? Ask us.
At a glance
- For whom
- Genetics units, specialist centres and laboratories with a defined indication.
- You send
- Existing data, or a sample if the sequencing has not been done, plus the panel you want
- You get
- Panel interpretation report with per-gene evaluability
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data, or up to 30 working days from a sample
The 28 indication panels
Each panel is a curated set of genes with high-confidence gene–disease evidence for that indication. Several panels can be run on the same data, each as its own report.
Cardiology and vascular
Cancer
Neurology and neuromuscular
Hearing and vision
Kidney and metabolism
Blood and immunity
Development and skeleton
Single Gene & Familial Variant
The most focused product in the catalogue, for when the target is already identified.
- Targeted analysis of one gene, or confirmation of a known familial variant
- Segregation analysis across relatives, with each family member’s status taken into account
- Classification with the full criteria ledger, so the reasoning travels with the result
- Coverage of the target region exon by exon, so “not found” is only stated where the region was well covered
- Explicit statement when the region cannot be evaluated by this method
Where a familial variant sits in a region this method cannot resolve, we say so rather than returning an unqualified negative.
At a glance
- For whom
- Specialists and laboratories with an identified variant in a family, or a specific hypothesis to confirm.
- You send
- Existing data or a sample, plus the gene or the variant (HGVS) where known, and relatives’ data for segregation
- You get
- Interpretation report confirming presence, absence or non-evaluability
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data, or up to 30 working days from a sample
Hereditary Cancer Predisposition
Germline analysis of cancer-predisposition genes, with the classification reasoning attached so the evidence can be reviewed line by line.
- Four panels: breast and ovarian, colorectal and polyposis, endocrine tumours (including phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma), and a comprehensive hereditary-cancer panel
- Classification against current expert-panel specifications where they exist
- Deletions and duplications analysed in the panel genes
- Genes that short-read methods struggle with, such as PMS2, handled with a dedicated approach and declared where they cannot be resolved
- Reanalysis of previously reported VUS against updated evidence
- Per-gene evaluability for every panel
This is germline predisposition analysis. It is not tumour profiling and does not replace somatic testing of tumour tissue.
At a glance
- For whom
- Oncology and genetic-counselling units, and laboratories testing individuals and families with suspected hereditary cancer.
- You send
- Existing data, or a sample if the sequencing has not been done
- You get
- Interpretation report on germline predisposition, with the full criteria ledger
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data, or up to 30 working days from a sample
Carrier Screening — Individual
Carrier status for recessive and X-linked conditions in one individual, with the screening level chosen to fit the question and the limits of the screen written down.
- Four screening levels, from a minimal set to an extended panel; the default follows the level recommended by ACMG
- Only pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants are reported
- Per-gene evaluability, so a non-carrier result is distinguishable from a gene that was not examined
- Genes that short-read methods cannot resolve are handled with dedicated methods or declared as not evaluable
- On whole-genome data, SMN1 copy number for spinal muscular atrophy is added, with its residual risk stated
Carrier screening lowers the chance of an unrecognised carrier state; it does not remove it. Every report says so, and where a published residual-risk figure exists (SMN1) it is stated.
At a glance
- For whom
- Fertility and reproductive-medicine centres, genetic-counselling services and laboratories offering carrier screening.
- You send
- Existing exome or genome data, or a sample, for the individual
- You get
- Individual carrier interpretation report with per-gene evaluability
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data, or up to 30 working days from a sample
Carrier Screening — Couple
The same screen applied to two people and read together: the report puts first the genes where both partners carry a variant, and states the combined reproductive risk.
- Both partners screened at the same level, so the comparison is like for like
- Genes where both carry a variant highlighted, with the risk stated per pregnancy (for example 1 in 4 for an autosomal recessive condition)
- X-linked conditions handled separately, with their own reading of the risk
- Per-gene evaluability for both partners, so a gene not examined in one of them is never read as clear
- A plain-language version alongside the technical report
- If the partner was screened elsewhere, only the genes covered by both screens are crossed; the rest are listed as pending
A couple report is only as complete as the weaker of the two screens. Where a gene could not be evaluated in either partner, the report says so.
At a glance
- For whom
- Fertility centres and reproductive-medicine services screening couples.
- You send
- Data or samples for both partners
- You get
- A combined couple report, with the individual carrier results behind it
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data, or up to 30 working days from a sample
Pharmacogenomics
Our flagship service. CYP2D6 is interpreted on its own terms — including copy number, deletions and duplications — instead of being inferred from a variant file that never had the reads to begin with.
- CYP2D6 diplotype, copy number, metaboliser phenotype and activity score
- Gene–drug recommendations from CPIC (levels A and B) and DPWG, covering more than 130 drugs
- HLA typing with a hypersensitivity sub-panel (abacavir, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, allopurinol, dapsone); positives require allele-specific confirmation
- Complete report, or one therapeutic area at a time, without repeating the analysis
- Drug-level implications tied to the inferred phenotype, not a generic table
- Genes with one or two unconfirmed positions are shown as “evaluated with caveat”, the rest as “not evaluable”; a gene below the coverage threshold is declared, never reported as normal
- Re-issuable as an addendum when guidelines change
Verified against certified reference materials, including whole-gene deletion and duplication. Materials, results and method are in technical note NT-PGX-001, available under NDA.
At a glance
- For whom
- Hospital pharmacy and pharmacology units, psychiatry, oncology and cardiology services, and laboratories offering pharmacogenomic testing.
- You send
- Existing BAM, FASTQ or VCF, or a sample if the sequencing has not been done
- You get
- Pharmacogenomic interpretation report with per-gene evaluability, plus structured data
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from sequencing data, or up to 30 working days from a sample
One analysis, ten therapeutic areas
The genotype does not change, so the analysis is done once. The report can be issued in full, or limited to one area, and a different area can be issued later without repeating the analysis.
Polygenic Risk Scores
Polygenic scores for common multifactorial conditions, computed against reference panels with explicit ancestry inference, so a percentile means the same thing across Iberian and admixed Latino populations rather than only in the cohorts most scores were derived from.
- Per-trait scores with the ancestry inferred, the reference used and the calibration applied
- Reported as a percentile within the inferred population, not as an isolated number
- Coverage gates that decide whether a score is reportable at all — a score that cannot be supported is declared, not published
- Delivered as a standalone report, and included in the Preventive Genome and the Complete Genome
- Cohort and population-programme profiling
- Full run traceability: reference, ancestry and calibration recorded for every score
A polygenic score is a risk modifier, not a yes-or-no result and not a monogenic one. It is interpreted alongside personal and family risk factors by the referring professional, and our published work on this module is an analytical validation of the computation rather than evidence of predictive validity in a given population.
At a glance
- For whom
- Preventive-medicine services and laboratories that want an ancestry-aware polygenic estimate alongside personal and family risk factors.
- You send
- Whole-genome data at 30x or higher (VCF, CRAM or FASTQ), individually or as a cohort
- You get
- Polygenic risk interpretation report with the ancestry and calibration recorded, plus structured data
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from data receipt
Second Opinion & Reanalysis
Three products for cases that are already closed: an audit of whether the negative could be supported at all, a full reinterpretation, and reclassification of a variant backlog.
- Evaluability audit — per-gene verdict on whether a previous negative could be supported, with the regions that were never resolved listed explicitly
- Second read — full reinterpretation with the question back in front of the data
- VUS reclassification — variants re-run against current evidence, with a change log
- Delivered per case or per batch
Often the most efficient way to decide whether a case is worth reopening, before investing in new sequencing.
At a glance
- For whom
- Specialists and laboratories with negative cases and a persistent suspicion, and units with a VUS backlog.
- You send
- Existing BAM, FASTQ or VCF, the panel or gene list, and the question
- You get
- Interpretation report per product, usable as evidence inside your own quality system
- Turnaround
- 7 working days from data receipt

How to order, and what happens next
Everything you need to send the first case.
Tell us what you need
Choose the service and describe the question, the data you hold and the number of samples. We reply within two working days.
Sample or data
Existing FASTQ, BAM, CRAM or VCF uploaded securely to an EU region — or saliva or blood with a kit we send you, if the sequencing has not been done.
Analysis and review
The analysis runs with all versions recorded, and our genetics team reviews the evidence before anything is written.
Report for review and signature
A structured interpretation report, prepared for review and signature by a qualified professional, plus machine-readable output and the evaluability record.
Who does what
This is the part most services leave vague. We would rather state it before you ask.
What Innovare does
- Arranges sequencing where a case starts from a sample, rather than from data you already hold.
- Runs the analysis and the interpretation, with full version traceability.
- Declares what was evaluable and what was not, gene by gene.
- Delivers the interpretation report, prepared for review and signature by a qualified professional.
What stays with you
- The decisions taken on the results, and how they are used.
- Informed consent for genetic testing and for the use of the data.
- The context supplied with the request: phenotype, family history, relationships.
- Any confirmatory or orthogonal testing the report recommends, in an accredited setting.
Reports are genomic interpretations prepared for review and signature by a qualified professional. They support the judgement of the referring professional, who remains responsible for the decisions taken on the results. A negative result does not rule out a genetic cause: every report states which genes could not be evaluated. Polygenic risk scores estimate multifactorial risk and do not replace monogenic testing. Genomic services are a separate offer from the Innovare platform software, which is supplied to laboratories as research-use software.
Start with one case
Send us the case you are least sure about — ideally one where you suspect the answer was never actually computed. We will tell you what we can resolve before you commit to anything.
