Instructions
For Quest Referrals Shipping: Ship at room temperature in an insulated container by overnight delivery Monday through Friday. Samples should NOT be shipped on Saturday or the day before or after a holiday to ensure viability. During warmer months, we recommend shipping with cool packs.
When selecting saliva, the QHerit At Home Collection Kit (Test Code 15479) must be ordered with the QHerit test panel.
Specimen viability decreases during transit. Send specimen to testing lab for viability determination. Do not freeze. Do not reject.
Note: Patient's gender is required.

FDA Status
These results should be used in the context of available clinical findings, and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment. This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Baylor Genetics, 2450 Holcombe Blvd., Houston, TX 77021. Laboratory director: Christine M. Eng, MD. US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require this test to go through premarket FDA review. This test is used for clinical purposes. It should not be regarded as investigational or for research. This laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical laboratory testing.

Clinical Significance
This test offers molecular detection by next-generation sequencing (NGS) of variants for specified X-linked and autosomal recessive disorders and allows testing of individuals regardless of ancestry or geographic origin. The male panel that corresponds to this female panel is QHerit 96™ Diseases, Male (Test Code 14227). Carrier screening aims to identify couples who have an increased risk of having an affected child to facilitate informed reproductive decision-making. As this is a screening test, this carrier panel is not intended to be used for diagnostic purposes. If diagnostic genetic testing is desired, please call Genomic Client Services (GENEINFO) at 866.436.3463 to discuss with a Quest Genetic Counselor.
