Both FULL (complete gene analysis) and TARGETED or KNOWN (specific mutation) tests are available. Specify which type of testing you require on the requisition. A copy of the proband's test report or the proband's name and date of birth (DOB), if the test was performed at CCHMC, is required for TARGETED/KNOWN analysis.
Collect
3 mL whole blood in lavender top (EDTA) OR 6 cytobrushes OR Saliva (use Saliva collection kit).
Collection personnel MUST initial specimen container to confirm sample identity.
For a free cytobrush or saliva collection kit, please call 513-636-4474.
Minimum Collection Volume
3 mL whole blood in lavender top (EDTA) OR 6 cytobrushes OR completed saliva kit.
If a lesser volume of blood or saliva, or a smaller number of cytobrushes is sent, the laboratory will attempt to perform the test requested. The laboratory cannot assure either a result and/or the ability to perform repeat testing and/or additional testing if the minimum volumes are not met.
Acceptable Specimen Collect Alternatives
The laboratory can obtain results for this test using different specimen types. For best results, send one of the specimen type(s) listed above. If only an alternate specimen type is available, please call the laboratory at (513) 636-4474 for more information on how to obtain and/or handle any alternate specimen types.
