Rapid Genome Sequencing, Familial Comparator
Ordering Recommendation
Use to submit parental or other familial comparator samples associated with a proband sample for Rapid Genome Sequencing (3019947). If reporting of secondary findings, including pathogenic variants in the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) recommended genes, is desired for comparator samples, indicate opt-in status on the proband’s Genome Sequencing Intake Form.
New York DOH Approval Status
Specimen Required
Preferred: Whole blood in lavender (EDTA) or pink (EDTA) Acceptable: Oragene(TM) saliva collection kit, or equivalent saliva collection device, collected in accordance with manufacturer instructions. Saliva in collection device suitable for human DNA extraction.
New York State Clients: ARUP cannot facilitate testing for New York patients. Please work directly with a New York-approved laboratory.
Transport 2 mL whole blood (Min: 0.5 mL) or 2 mL saliva.
Refrigerated.
Refer to Rapid Genome Sequencing (ARUP test code 3019947) for proband specimen requirements.
This test is used for parental or other familial comparator samples associated with a proband sample submitted for Rapid Genome Sequencing (ARUP test code 3019947). Comparator samples must be submitted within 7 days of the proband’s sample. Please list the name/DOB of submitted familial comparators on the proband’s Genome Sequencing Intake Form.
If reporting of secondary findings is desired for comparator individual(s), indicate opt-in status on the proband’s Genome Sequencing Intake Form (additional charges apply).
