Ordering Recommendation

Use to confirm the causal variant(s) in a fetus with clinical features of a skeletal dysplasia. Predictive testing in a fetus known to be at risk for a skeletal dysplasia based on family history.

New York DOH Approval Status

Testing is not New York state approved. Specimens from New York clients will be sent out to a New York state-approved laboratory.

Specimen Required

Patient Preparation
Collect

Fetal Specimen: Two  T-25 flasks at 90% confluent of cultured amniocytes or cultured chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
AND Maternal Whole Blood Specimen: Lavender (EDTA), pink (K2EDTA), or yellow (ACD Solution A or B).

Specimen Preparation

Cultured Amniocytes or Cultured CVS: Fill flasks with culture media. Transport two T-25 flasks at 90 percent confluent of cultured amniocytes or cultured CVS filled with culture media. Backup cultures must be retained at the client's institution until testing is complete. If ARUP receives a sample below the minimum confluence, CG GRW&SND (0040182) will be added on by ARUP, and additional charges will apply. If clients are unable to culture specimens, CG GRW&SND should be added to initial order. 
Maternal Whole Blood Specimen: Transport 3 mL whole blood (Min: 1 mL)
New York State Clients: Specimens must be sent overnight to the performing laboratory. For specimen requirements and direct submission instructions please contact ARUP Referral Testing at 800-242-2787 ext. 5145.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Cultured Amniocytes or Cultured CVS: CRITICAL ROOM TEMPERATURE. Must be received within 48 hours of shipment due to viability of cells.
Maternal Specimen:
Room temperature.

Stability

Cultured Amniocytes or Cultured CVS: Room temperature: 48 hours; Refrigerated: Unacceptable; Frozen: Unacceptable
Maternal Whole Blood Specimen: Room temperature: 7 days; Refrigerated: 1 month; Frozen: Unacceptable
New York State Clients: Specimens must be received at performing laboratory within 24 hours of shipping. Older specimens will be evaluated by performing laboratory for acceptability. For specimen requirements and direct submission instructions please contact ARUP Referral Testing at 800-242-2787 ext. 5145.
