Genomic SNP Microarray, Products of Conception
Ordering Recommendation
For use in the context of intrauterine fetal demise or stillbirth when further cytogenetic analysis is desired, pregnancy loss or termination in the presence of fetal anomalies, fetal chromosomal abnormalities that are seen by conventional cytogenetic methods and need further characterization, multiple fetal losses of unknown etiology, or products of conception (POC) specimens that fail to grow in culture.
Maternal cell contamination (MCC) analysis is recommended. Order Maternal Cell Contamination, Fetal Specimen (0051596) on the fetal specimen. Order Maternal Cell Contamination, Maternal Specimen (0050608) on a maternal blood specimen.
For guidance on ordering maternal cell contamination studies, please refer to Maternal Cell Contamination (MCC) Analysis Guide.
New York DOH Approval Status
Specimen Required
Fetal Specimen: Products of conception in a sterile, screw-top container (ARUP supply #42710) filled with tissue culture transport medium (ARUP supply #32788). Available online through eSupply using ARUP Connect or contact ARUP Client Services at 800-522-2787. If cytogenetics tissue media is not available, collect in plain RPMI, Hanks solution, sterile saline, or ringers.
If 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 (eg, villi).
Maternal Specimen: Refer to Maternal Cell Contamination, Maternal Specimen (0050608) for maternal specimen requirements.
Transport products of conception (Min: 5mg) in sterile, screw-top container filled with tissue transport medium. If specimen size is too large for a normal collection tube, a larger sterile container can be used such as a sterile urine cup and can be flooded with several tubes of cytogenetic tissue media.
Preferred transport temp: Room temperature. Also acceptable: Refrigerated or frozen.
Intact fetus. Specimens preserved in formalin. Autolyzed or contaminated specimens.
Counseling and informed consent are recommended for genetic testing. Consent forms are linked above.
New York Clients: informed consent is required with submission.
Room temperature: 2 days; Refrigerated: 2 days; Frozen: Indefinitely
