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).

New York DOH Approval Status

This test is not New York state approved. ARUP cannot facilitate testing for New York state clients. Please work directly with a New York state-approved laboratory.

Specimen Required

Patient Preparation
Collect

Lavender or pink (EDTA). 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 Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing (ARUP test code 3005935). A report will NOT be provided for samples ordered using this test code. If a report for parental control sample is desired, order Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing, Familial Control with Report (ARUP test code 3005933).
