Overlapping idications
• R314 Ambiguous genitalia presenting neonatally should be used to establish karyotypic sex in urgent neonatal situations • R180 Congenital adrenal hyperplasia diagnostic test should be used before the panel test where CAH is the likely diagnosis; the common CAH gene CYP21A2 is too complex to examine using a next generation sequencing test under this indication • R297: Possible structural chromosomal rearrangement - karyotype may be required to identify structural sex chromosome abnormalities which might not be detected via common aneuploidy testing
