Note
To complete Maternal T Cell Engraftment in SCID testing, samples should be collected to perform the following three tests: (1) a buccal brush collected from the patient for Maternal T Cell Engraftment in SCID, Pre-Engraftment Specimen (ARUP test code 2014694), used as a genetic baseline for the patient; (2) a peripheral blood sample from the biological mother for Maternal T Cell Engraftment in SCID, Maternal Specimen (ARUP test code 2014704), used as a genetic baseline for the mother; (3) a peripheral blood sample collected from the patient for Maternal T Cell Engraftment in SCID (ARUP test code 2014699). T cells isolated from the blood sample will be genotyped for comparison to the patient and the biological mother's baseline genotypes.
