Testing Algorithm

This test includes a charge for the probe application, analysis, and professional interpretation of results for one probe set (2 individual fluorescence in situ hybridization probes). Analysis charges will be incurred based on the number of cells analyzed per probe set. If no cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred. Additional charges will be incurred for application of all reflex probes performed.

 

Appropriate ancillary probes may be performed at consultant discretion to render comprehensive assessment. Any additional probes will have the results included within the final report and will be performed at an additional charge.

Method Name

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)

Reporting Name

SRY, Yp11.3, FISH

Specimen Type

Varies


Ordering Guidance


This test does not detect other chromosomal or structural anomalies and is intended to be ordered in conjunction with chromosome analysis.

 

For detection of unbalanced translocations, deletions, or duplications, chromosomal microarray may be the more appropriate test; order CMACB / Chromosomal Microarray, Congenital, Blood; or CMAP / Chromosomal Microarray, Prenatal, Amniotic Fluid/Chorionic Villus Sampling.



Additional Testing Requirements


Normal fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results will not exclude the majority of cytogenetically detectable abnormalities. As FISH testing is not a substitute for complete cytogenetic analysis, additional cytogenetic testing should be performed in conjunction with this test; order CHRCB / Chromosome Analysis, Congenital Disorders, Blood.



Shipping Instructions


Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.



Necessary Information


A reason for testing must be provided. The laboratory will not reject testing if this information is not provided however an applicable indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories. Appropriate testing and interpretation may be compromised or delayed.



Specimen Required


Submit only 1 of the following specimens:

 

Specimen Type: Amniotic fluid

Container/Tube: Amniotic fluid container

Specimen Volume: 20 to 25 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Optimal timing for specimen collection is during 14 to 18 weeks of gestation, but specimens collected at other weeks of gestation are also accepted. Provide gestational age at the time of amniocentesis.

2. Discard the first 2 mL of amniotic fluid.

3. If ordering with CMAP / Chromosomal Microarray, Prenatal, Amniotic Fluid/Chorionic Villus Sampling, submit a minimum of 12 mL.

4. If ordering with CHRAF / Chromosome Analysis, Amniotic Fluid, submit a minimum of 12 mL.

5. If ordering with both CMAP and CHRAF, submit a minimum of 26 mL.

Additional Information:

1. Unavoidably, about 1% to 2% of mailed-in specimens are not viable.

2. Bloody specimens are undesirable.

3. If the specimen does not grow in culture, you will be notified within 7 days of receipt.

4. Specimen cannot be frozen.

 

Specimen Type: Autopsy

Supplies: Hank's Solution (T132)

Container/Tube: Sterile container with sterile Hank's balanced salt solution, Ringer's solution, or normal saline

Specimen Volume: 4 mm diameter

Collection Instructions:

1. Wash biopsy site with an antiseptic soap.

2. Thoroughly rinse area with sterile water.

3. Do not use alcohol or iodine preparations.

4. Biopsy specimens are best taken by punch biopsy to include full thickness of dermis.

 

Specimen Type: Whole blood

Container/Tube:

Preferred: Green top (sodium heparin)

Acceptable: Lavender top (EDTA) or yellow top (ACD)

Specimen Volume: 4 mL

Collection Instructions

1. Invert several times to mix blood.

2. Send whole blood specimen in original tube. Do not aliquot.

3. Other anticoagulants are not recommended and are harmful to the viability of the cells.

4. Cord blood is acceptable

Additional Information:

1. If the specimen does not grow in culture, you will be notified within 7 days of receipt.

Specimen Type: Chorionic villus

Supplies: CVS Media (RPMI) and Small Dish (T095)

Container/Tube: 15-mL tube containing 15 mL of transport media

Specimen Volume: 20 to 25 mg

Collection Instructions:

1. Collect specimen by the transabdominal or transcervical method.

2. Transfer chorionic villi to a Petri dish containing transport medium.

3. Using a stereomicroscope and sterile forceps, assess the quality and quantity of the villi and remove any blood clots and maternal decidua.

 

Specimen Type: Fixed cell pellet
