Submission of a completed Prenatal Genetic Test Requisition Form is required.

This test is intended for amniotic fluid samples that does not have any accompanying cytogenetic test order (e.g., chromosome analysis or prenatal microarray analysis) but cell culture is desired for other molecular genetic or biochemical testing, such as familial variant targeted sequencing, DNA isolation and storage, or send-out for molecular genetic/biochemical testing to be done on cultured amniocytes. This test includes cryopreservation of cultured amniocytes. If send-out testing and/or DNA isolation and storage are requested, then additional cell culture charge will apply (CPT code: 88235). If obtaining amniotic fluid is not feasible, then fetal fluid may be submitted; please indicate the source of fetal fluid on the requisition form (e.g., cystic hygroma fluid, ascites fluid, bladder fluid, etc.).

If additional in-house or send-out testing on cultured amniocytes is desired, please clearly indicate the desired testing on the requisition form and call the Cytogenetics lab at (614) 722-5321 and speak to a laboratory genetic counselor to coordinate. Otherwise, cultured cells will be cryopreserved for future testing. If cultured amniocytes will be used to perform fetal molecular genetic testing, submission of a maternal blood sample (4 mL in EDTA tube) is highly recommended to perform maternal cell contamination study.
