Ordering Recommendation

Testing for a fetus with suspected cardiac rhabdomyoma on ultrasound or fetus at risk for tuberous sclerosis complex based on a family history.

New York DOH Approval Status

This test is not New York state approved. ARUP cannot facilitate testing for New York state clients. Please work directly with 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 (KEDTA), 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)

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.

Unacceptable Conditions
