Producing fibroblast cultures that can be used for genetic analysis
Once confluent flasks are established, the fibroblast cultures are sent to other laboratories, either within Mayo Clinic or to external sites, based on the specific testing requested.
This test should be used when the specimen is chorionic villi or when cytogenetic testing is needed. For other specimen types and any other genetic testing, we recommend ordering FIBR/8482 Fibroblast Culture, as these specimens are cryopreserved indefinitely once testing is complete.
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
Fibroblast or chorionic villus culture for cytogenetic or molecular genetic testing only. The additional test(s) desired must be indicated on the request form that accompanies the specimen.
Special Instructions and Forms Describes specimen collection and preparation information, test algorithms, and other information pertinent to test. Also includes pertinent information and consent forms to be used when requesting a particular test
