This STAT test is for prenatal use and involves testing for known variant(s) where a fetus has presented with specific features of a single gene disorder or known familial variant.
Maternal cell contamination (MCC) is offered as a stand-alone test and is required to accompany prenatal testing for samples derived from amniotic fluid, and chorionic villi sampling. MCC study can be requested on other prenatal / fetal samples at the ordering provider's discretion.
The purpose of this test is to find the underlying genetic cause for prenatal findings or known family history of a single gene disorder.
Next-generation sequencing technology for focused, diagnostic single-gene testing.
Collection Container(s) | Two T-25 flasks |
---|---|
Collection | All prenatal specimens will be tested for maternal cell contamination (MCC). Send maternal blood (EDTA tube) for comparison. If blood is unavailable, we will accept genomic DNA and Saliva sample types. |
Sample Condition | Transfer cultured amniocytes or cultured CVS to two T-25 flasks at ≥80% confluence. |
Shipping | Cultures topped off with sterile medium and shipped immediately at ambient temperature by overnight express with arrival Monday-Friday only. |
Special Sample Instructions | For prenatal samples, Revvity Omics will provide a shipping label to use for shipping the sample to our lab. Please call 1 (866) 354-2910 to arrange this. At this time, you will also be connected to a laboratory genetic counselor to answer any questions about the testing. For samples originating outside of the United States, please contact your nearest Revvity Omics laboratory for more information. |
Collection Container(s) | Sterile, screw-top container filled with tissue culture transport medium. |
---|---|
Collection | All prenatal specimens will be tested for maternal cell contamination (MCC). Send maternal blood (EDTA tube) for comparison. Transport products of conception and/or fresh tissue (minimum: 10 mg) in a sterile, screw-top container filled with tissue transport medium. Do not place in formalin. If the specimen is too large for a normal collection tube, a larger sterile container can be used. |
Sample Condition | If the autopsy is performed: Facia lata, diaphragm, tendon, skin, tissue from internal organs (if fresh), chest wall cartilage (particularly if macerated), or placenta from fetal side. If no autopsy is performed: Placenta from fetal side is preferred, e.g., villi. Umbilical cord is also acceptable. State clearly in the TRF whether the tissue was of fetal or placental in origin. |
Shipping | Shipped immediately at ambient temperature or with a cold pack, especially under hot weather to the laboratory by overnight express with arrival Monday-Friday only. Alternatively, fresh POC and/or tissue samples can be snap-frozen and kept at -80°C. Frozen tissue samples should be shipped overnight on dry ice with arrival Monday-Friday only - NO WEEKEND SHIPMENTS! |
