Chromosome Analysis, Peripheral Blood, with Reflex to Genomic Microarray
2005763
Ordering Recommendation
Appropriate when there is a significant chance of trisomy. Chromosome studies will identify obvious numerical abnormalities, balanced chromosomal rearrangements, and large deletions/duplications. If chromosomes are normal, then testing reflexes to microarray.

See Compliance Statement C: www.aruplab.com/CS
Statement C: The performance characteristics of this test were validated by ARUP Laboratories. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved or cleared this test; however, FDA approval or clearance is currently not required for clinical use of this test. The results are not intended to be used as the sole means for clinical diagnosis or patient management decisions. ARUP is authorized under Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) and by all states to perform high-complexity testing.

Counseling and informed consent are recommended for genetic testing. Consent forms are available online.
 
Note
These studies involve culturing of living cells; therefore, turnaround times given represent average times which are subject to multiple variables. After specimen receipt, results are generally available in an average of 10 days with 7-10 additional days required for microarray.

A processing fee will be charged if the client cancels this procedure after the test has been set up

When the result of Chromosome Analysis is "normal," then Genomic Microarray testing will be added. Additional charges apply.

Specimen and completed test request form, including clinical indication, must be received within 48 hours of collection.

This test must be ordered using Cytogenetic test request form #43097 or through your ARUP interface. Please submit the Patient History for Cytogenetic (Chromosome) Studies form with the electronic packing list (available at http://www.aruplab.com/genetics/forms.php).
