Ordering Recommendation

Use to assess recipient genotype and compare to donor genotype prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Pretransplant genotyping is required to enable posttransplant chimerism and engraftment monitoring. For posttransplant monitoring, refer to Chimerism, Posttransplant (3005454).

New York DOH Approval Status

This test is New York state approved.

Specimen Required

Patient Preparation
Collect

Lavender (EDTA), pink (K2EDTA), or yellow (ACD solution A or B). OR bone marrow in lavender (EDTA). OR buccal brushes from recipient.

Specimen Preparation

Transport 2 mL whole blood (Min: 1 mL), OR 1 mL bone marrow (Min: 1 mL), OR 2 buccal brushes in a sterile, dry tube. (Min: 2 brushes)

Storage/Transport Temperature

Refrigerated. Also acceptable: Ambient.

Unacceptable Conditions
Remarks

Posttransplant results will be compared to pretransplant recipient and donor genotypes, therefore, donor and recipient specimens must be obtained and genotyped before the transplant event occurs. If transplant event occurred prior to specimen collection, dry buccal brushes (not bloody) are acceptable.
