Patient History for Fetal Molecular Testing


Mnemonic: CF MUT FE

Methodology: Polymerase Chain Reaction/Oligonucleotide Ligation
Performed: Sun-Sat
Reported: 6-7 days
Specimen Required: Collect:  Collect and Transport: Cultured cells: Two T-25 flasks at 80% confluent of cultured amniocytes. Fill flasks with culture media to ship at 20-25°C.  Backup cultures must be retained at the client's institution until testing is complete. If  the client is unable to culture amniocytes, this can be arranged by contacting  ARUP Client Services at (800) 522-2787.
Maternal sample: One 3 mL whole blood lavender (EDTA) or yellow (ACD Solution A or B) at 20-25°C.

Remarks:  Fetal samples are CRITICAL AMBIENT and must be received within 48 hours of shipment due to lability of cells.
Maternal sample is recommended for proper test interpretation. Order Maternal Cell (MCC MAT) (0050608).  Patient History Form is available on the ARUP Web site or by contacting ARUP Client Services.

Stability:  Fetal: Ambient: 2 days; Refrigerated: Unacceptable; Frozen: Unacceptable
Maternal: Ambient: 3 days; Refrigerated: 1 week; Frozen: Unacceptable
Reference Interval:
By report
Interpretive Data: Test Information:

Incidence: 1:3,000 Caucasian and Ashkenazi Jewish births; lower in other ethnicities.
Inheritance: Autosomal recessive.
Characteristics: meconium ileus, pancreatic insufficiency, chronic sino-pulmonary disease, gastrointestinal/ nutritional abnormalities, salt-loss syndromes and male infertility.
Causation: cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene mutations.
Mutations Tested: G85E, R117H, I148T, R334W, R347P, R347H, 394delTT, A455E,  I507del, F508del, V520F, G542X, S549N, S549R, G551D, R553X, R560T, 621+1G>T, 711+1G>T, 1078delT, R1162X, W1282X, N1303K, 1717-1G>A,1898+1G>A, 2184delA, 2789+5G>A, 3120+1G>A, 3659delC, 3849+10kbC>T, 3876delA, 3905insT. For samples positive for R117H or I148T, the IVS-8/poly T variant or 3199del6 mutation are analyzed respectively.
Methods: PCR, oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA), fluorescent hybridization probes, and capillary electrophoresis.
Limitations: Only the 32 mutations tested will be detected; furthermore, mutations within the primer/probe regions could affect this assay.
Sensitivity: African American-65%; Ashkenazi Jewish-94%; Caucasian-89%; Hispanic-73%.
Hot Line Note: Please remove consent form statement.

For quality assurance purposes, ARUP Laboratories will provide a confirmation of the above result at no charge.  Following delivery, please collect a cord blood sample from the infant in a lavender (EDTA) or yellow (ACD Solution A) top tube and transport 1 mL cord blood at 2-8°C.  Order the Cystic Fibrosis, Mutation Panel (0056040), and please specify on the test request form that this is a confirmatory study to be performed at no charge.  Please provide the mother's name for specimen identification purposes.





Please refer to Statement C in the Compliance Statements section in the front of the Laboratory Test Directory.
