- Collection
- Do not hold specimen; forward to laboratory when specimen arrives. Whole blood: Specimen stability is crucial. Store and ship room temperature immediately. Do not freeze. Waiver signed by the referring health care professional must accompany all specimens or be received in the molecular genetics lab (fax: 949-728-4874) within 4 days of the blood draw. If ordering facility is located in AK, AZ, DE, FL, GA, MA, MN, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, SD or VT or test is performed in MA, a physician attestation of informed consent (PAIC) waiver is required and will meet the test specific waiver requirements. Waivers not received within 8 days from draw will result in test cancellation. Call 1-866-GENE-INFO (1-866-436-3463) for a copy of the test specific and or PAIC waiver. For patients under the age of 18, please call (866-436-3463) before specimen collection. Note to Business Units: Do not reject specimen if the waiver is not received. Forward samples to SJC and fax the waiver to the referring physician with instructions that it must be completed and faxed back to SJC (to the number on the waiver) within 4 days of blood draw. For fetal testing: 1. Please call 1-866-GENE-INFO (1-866-436-3463) prior to submission. 2. Documentation of parental carrier status must be provided. 3. It is required that Maternal Cell Contamination Study, STR Analysis be ordered in conjunction with fetal testing. A separate tube of maternal blood (EDTA) is required for this test. Amniotic fluid: Normal collection procedure. Specimen stability is crucial. Store and ship at room temperature immediately. Do not refrigerate or freeze; forward to laboratory when sample arrives. Amniocyte or chorionic villus (CVS) culture: Two sterile T-25 flasks, 75% confluent, filled with culture medium. Specimen stability is crucial. Store and ship at room temperature immediately. Do not refrigerate or freeze; forward to laboratory when cells arrive. Dissected chorionic villus (CVS) biopsy: 10-20 mg dissected chorionic villi collected in sterile tube, filled with sterile culture medium. Specimen stability is crucial. Store and ship at room temperature immediately. Do not refrigerate or freeze; forward to laboratory when sample arrives.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
