Ordering Recommendation

Use to submit required parental control samples for Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing (3005935) if reporting of secondary findings for parental samples is not desired. Secondary findings, including pathogenic variants in the American College of Medical Genetics recommended genes, will not be reported. If reporting of ACMG-recommended secondary findings for parental samples is desired, refer to Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing, Familial Control with Report (3005933).

Lavender (EDTA) or yellow (ACD solution A or B). Peripheral blood required. Contact ARUP's genetic counselor at 800-242-2787 ext. 2141 prior to test submission

Specimen Preparation

Transport 2 mL whole blood. (Min: 0.5 mL)

Storage/Transport Temperature

Refrigerated.

Unacceptable Conditions
Remarks

This test is used for parental control samples associated with a proband sample submitted for RWGS NGS. A report will NOT be provided for samples ordered using this test code. If a report for parental control sample is desired, order RWGS FRPT (3005933).

Stability

Ambient: 72 hours; Refrigerated: 1 week; Frozen: Unacceptable

Reference Interval

By report

Interpretive Data

Refer to report.

Compliance Category

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)

Note

Parental samples are used to aid in interpretation of the proband's genome sequencing data. This test is ordered when a report of ACMG secondary findings is not desired for submitted parental controls.
