NY State Approved Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Evaluation of patients presenting with features of disorders known to be associated with uniparental disomy (eg, Russell-Silver syndrome)
Evaluation of disease mechanism in individuals with rare autosomal recessive disease and only one carrier parent
Uniparental disomy testing is available for all chromosomes
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
Samples from fetus or child and both parents are required for analysis. Chromosome of interest must be specified on request form.
Reflex Tests Lists test(s) that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| FBC | Fibroblast Culture for Genetic Test | Yes | No |
| AFC | Amniotic Fluid Culture/Genetic Test | Yes | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
For prenatal specimens only: If amniotic fluid (non-confluent cultured cells) is received, amniotic fluid culture/genetic test will be added and charged separately. If chorionic villus specimen (non-confluent cultured cells) is received, fibroblast culture for genetic test will be added and charged separately.
