Site Indication-specific findings Tumor analysis Actionable secondary or incidental findings Pharmacogenetic findings Carrier status Nonactionable secondary or incidental findings Other VUS
1 Yes Yes ACMG plus additional Yes Yes (opt-out) No   All tumor VUS; germ-line VUS only related to indication
2 Yes Select variants associated with chemotherapy recommendations ACMG plus additional Select gene–drug pairs 10 conditions No   VUS related to indication and for medically actionable genes that family analysis would clarify
3 Yes No ACMG plus additional Yes Yes Yes Risk variants for select common complex conditions based on GWAS and red blood cell/platelet antigen typing VUS related to indication and VUS favor pathogenic regardless of indication

5 Yes No Locally determined list of actionable conditions Yes (opt-in) Yes (opt-in) Yes (opt-in), including rare but highly penetrant variants for serious nontreatable conditions Variants for risk in select common complex conditions based on GWAS (opt-in) VUS related to indication
6 Yes Actionable or potentially actionable somatic variants with focus on therapy ACMG plus additional No Yes No   VUS related to indication
