Chromosome Analysis, Amniotic Fluid, with Reflex to Genomic Microarray

If Chromosome Analysis is "normal" or "no growth,"  then Genomic Microarray testing will be added.  Additional charges apply.

Maternal cell contamination studies recommended if testing reflexes to the fetal microarray. For maternal cell contamination studies if testing reflexes to the fetal microarray, please submit a maternal blood sample and order Maternal Cell Contamination, Maternal Specimen (ARUP test code 0050608), accompanied by a test request form for the mother (this test is performed at no charge as part of the fetal microarray). Maternal blood should be submitted along with the amniotic fluid sample at the time the test ordered. For questions regarding ordering please contact ARUP's genetic counselor at (800) 242-2787 ext. 2141.

The chromosome analysis studies involve culturing of living cells; therefore, turnaround times given represent average times, which are subject to multiple variables.

A processing fee will be charged if this procedure is canceled at the client's request after the test has been set up or if the specimen integrity is inadequate to allow culture growth

This test must be ordered using Cytogenetic test request form 43098 or through your ARUP interface. Please submit the Patient History for Prenatal Cytogenetics form with the electronic packing list (https://ltd.aruplab.com/Tests/Pdf/65). Counseling and informed consent are recommended for genetic testing. Consent forms are available online at www.aruplab.com.
