Test Code NCDA Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia Gene Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies


Ordering Guidance


Multiple hematology gene panels are available. For more information, see NHHA and Subpanel Comparison Gene List.

 

Customization of this panel and single gene analysis for any gene present on this panel are available. For more information see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.

 

Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known variants testing) is available for the genes on this panel. See FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.



Shipping Instructions


Specimen preferred to arrive within 96 hours of collection.


Necessary Information


1. Metabolic Hematology Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Patient Information is required. Testing may proceed without the patient information, however, the information aids in providing a more thorough interpretation. Ordering providers are strongly encouraged to fill out the form and send with the specimen.

2. If form not provided, include the following information with the test request: clinical diagnosis, pertinent clinical history (ie, complete blood cell count results and relevant clinical notes) and differentials based on any previous bone marrow studies, clinical or morphologic presentation.



Specimen Required


Specimen Type: Whole blood

Patient Preparation: A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with testing. Call 800-533-1710 for instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant.

Container/Tube:

Preferred: Lavender top (EDTA)

Acceptable: Yellow top (ACD)

Specimen Volume: 3 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Invert several times to mix blood.

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

Specimen Stability Information: Ambient (preferred) 4 days/Refrigerated


Genetics Test Information

This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide and copy number variants in 6 genes associated with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia: CDAN1, CDIN1 (C15orf41), GATA1, KIF23, KLF1, and SEC23B. See Method Description for additional details.

 

Identification of a disease-causing variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, recurrence risk assessment, familial screening, and genetic counseling for congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.
