Testing for Known Pathogenic Variant

Genes

All genes

Test Guide

Known pathogenic variant testing should be selected if such a variant was previously identified in the family by the laboratory (we tested a relative of the patient) and we have a positive control for that patient.

Methodology

Sanger Sequencing: The coding exon and flanking intron sequences known to contain the variant are amplified by PCR in a single reaction and then sequenced by automated sequencing.

Specimen Requirements


SALIVA:
Oragene Saliva samples are accepted

BLOOD: 2 EDTA (purple top) tubes
Adults: 5-10cc
Children: 3-5cc
Infants: 2-3cc

Whole blood may be stored up to 5-7 days in the refrigerator before shipping.

DNA:
Single site (known familial mutation or variant): 1 µg DNA
