Familial Targeted Sequencing
Ordering Recommendation
Testing for a previously identified familial sequence variant by sequencing the gene of interest. A copy of the family member’s test result documenting the familial gene variant is REQUIRED. Not all genes/variants are covered by this assay; see the attached Targeted Sequencing Gene List within Supplemental Resources for genes and regions available for this test.
Consultation with a genetic counselor is advised to determine if the variant of interest is detectable with this assay and if there are gene-specific technical considerations; please call 800-242-2787 ext. 2141. Testing will not proceed if the requested variant or gene is not covered. The common variants CFTR F508del and 5T (IVS8) are not tested by this assay. Only the requested sequence variant of interest and other incidentally detected pathogenic or likely pathogenic sequence variants related to the condition in the gene of interest will be reported.
New York DOH Approval Status
Specimen Required
Lavender or pink (EDTA) or yellow (ACD solution A or B).
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: 1 mL)
Refrigerated
Serum or plasma; grossly hemolyzed or frozen specimens; saliva, buccal brush, or swab; FFPE tissue.
Documentation of the familial gene variant from a relative's laboratory test report is required to perform testing. Testing will begin upon receipt of all necessary components, including an original laboratory report detailing the familial variant(s) to be tested.
