GREENWOOD GENETICS LAB: URINE CUP (Frozen) Min Vol: 3

Adults: 5-10 mL blood EDTA (Lav) tube *Pediatric minimum: 3 mL blood EDTA (Lav) tube*

Specimen Requirements: 5 to 10 mL of peripheral blood collected in an EDTA (lavender top) Vacutainer tube is preferred. The minimal blood needed for reliable DNA isolation is 3 mL. Transport: The specimen should be kept at room temperature and delivered via overnight shipping. FedEx is preferred. If shipment is delayed by one or two days, the specimen should be refrigerated and shipped at room temperature. Do not freeze the specimen. Samples collected on Friday can be safely designated for Monday delivery. Turnaround time: 8-10 weeks Prenatal testing: If pathogenic mutation(s) are identified in an affected individual using this panel, prenatal diagnosis is available for future pregnancies. Sanger sequencing will be used for prenatal diagnosis when there is a known familial mutation. Additional fees for cell culture and maternal cell contamination may apply. Maternal cell contamination studies are required for all prenatal molecular tests. Contact the laboratory prior to sending a prenatal specimen.
