Will I get notified if a medically actionable finding was NOT found in the ACMG 59 genes?

Findings from genetic testing may or may not impact your health. Findings that do not affect your health are generally related to traits, such as hair texture or ancestry. Medically actionable findings impact your health because they are in specific “medically actionable” genes. Findings in these genes are related to…
