LabGx now incorporates a sample’s defined Sex at Birth when mapping G6PD. G6PD, a gene located on the X chromosome, and males have only one copy of this chromosome, a heterozygous result is not possible for samples defined as Male. Accordingly, if a sample defined as Male reports a heterozygous genotype at a genomic location, or if LabGx maps a heterozygous diplotype, LabGx will automatically default to an Unreported diplotype.

This behavior does not apply to samples with Sex at Birth defined as Unknown or Female. The following error messages will appear in the Lab Director Error Message window and in the status report.
