Cytogenomic SNP Microarray, Family-Specific Variant
Ordering Recommendation
New York DOH Approval Status
Specimen Required
If collecting buccal swab: patient should not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum for 30 minutes before collection.
Green (sodium heparin) or lavender (K2EDTA) whole blood.
OR one buccal swab using the Oracollect collection kit (ARUP supply #49295). Available online through eSupply using ARUP Connect or contact ARUP Client Services at 800-522-2787.
OR cultured fibroblasts. If unable to culture or sending direct sample from skin, please also order Cell Culture for Genetic Testing (ARUP test code 3020627) and ARUP will culture upon receipt (culturing fees will apply). If you have any questions, contact Cytogenetics Genetic Counselor (ext. 2141) or CytoMSSGCs@aruplab.com)
Whole Blood: Transport 5 mL (Min: 2 mL)
Buccal Swab: ensure the sponge tip does not come in contact with any surface prior to collection. Transport buccal swab in ORAcollect Collection kit.
Cultured fibroblasts: Two T-25 flasks at 80 percent confluency. Fill flasks with culture media. Backup cultures must be maintained at the client's institution until testing is complete.
Preferred transport temps:
Whole Blood or buccal swab: Room temperature
Cultured fibroblasts: Room temperature: 2 days; Refrigerated: 2 days
Frozen or clotted specimens.
Documentation of the familial copy number variant (CNV) is required to perform targeted array analysis. Submit a copy of a relative's laboratory test report documenting the CNV for which testing is requested or include the ARUP accession number of the proband.
Counseling and informed consent are recommended for genetic testing. Consent forms are linked above.
New York Clients: informed consent is required with submission.
Whole blood: Room temperature: 2 days; Refrigerated: 3 days; Frozen: Unacceptable
Buccal swab: Room temperature: 1 week; Refrigerated: 1 week; Frozen: Unacceptable
