If you are an external healthcare provider with no access to Nationwide Children’s Epic system, submission of a completed Genetic Test Requisition Form is required. If you are an internal ordering provider with access to Nationwide Children’s Epic system, no requisition form is required; please place the lab order electronically in Epic. Peripheral blood and cord blood samples are accepted for this testing. Please collect blood specimen in a Sodium Heparin tube (dark green-top tube without gel separator). DO NOT use Lithium Heparin tube or other types of Heparin tubes. Please clearly indicate "STAT" on the lab order.

STAT chromosome analysis provides a verbal preliminary chromosome result (non-high resolution) in 2 business days (within 72 hours) from the time the sample is received by the laboratory. Final written report including high resolution chromosome analysis is typically available in 7 days. If STAT result call-out for Saturday or Sunday is desired, the ordering provider MUST indicate on the lab order to request the weekend result call-out and provide the telephone or pager number to be called with preliminary result.

If microarray analysis is also desired, please submit additional 1 mL whole blood in EDTA tube.

If evaluation of extra cells (beyond the routine 20 cells) is desired to evaluate for low-level mosaicism for chromosome abnormality, please request "Mosaicism Study" on the lab order, and additional cells up to 50 cells will be evaluated at extra charge (CPT code: 88263).

If patient has a family history of known chromosome abnormality, please provide the family member's chromosome result information (attach a copy of test result if available). If the proband was tested at Nationwide Children's Hospital Cytogenetics Laboratory, please provide the proband name, date of birth, and accession number (if available).

This test evaluates chromosomes in 20 cells (cultured lymphocytes) from blood sample. This test is used to evaluate for numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities such as aneuploidy, chromosome translocation, and chromosome inversion. This test is useful for patients who are suspected of having numerical chromosome abnormalities, such as trisomy 21, trisomy 13, trisomy 18, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome.

STAT chromosome analysis provides a verbal preliminary chromosome result (non-high resolution) in 2 business days (within 72 hours) from the time the sample is received by the laboratory. Final written report including high resolution chromosome analysis is typically available in 7 days. 

If additional FISH or mosaicism studies are recommended to assist in the result interpretation by the director, the clinician will be notified.
