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). Additional charges will be incurred for additional probe sets performed. 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.

 

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

Newborn Aneuploidy Detection, FISH

Specimen Type

Whole blood


Ordering Guidance


This test does not detect aneuploidy of chromosomes other than 13, 18, 21, X, or Y. This test does not detect other chromosomal or structural anomalies and is intended to be ordered in conjunction with chromosomal microarray or chromosome analysis.

 

Low levels of mosaicism involving chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, or Y may not be detected by this procedure.



Additional Testing Requirements


Normal fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results will not exclude the majority of cytogenetically detectable abnormalities. FISH testing should be ordered in conjunction with additional cytogenetic testing (CHRCB / Chromosome Analysis, Congenital Disorders, Blood; or CMACB / Chromosomal Microarray, Congenital, Blood), as it does not substitute for complete cytogenetic analysis.

Necessary Information


A reason for testing is requested with each specimen. The laboratory will not reject testing if this information is not provided; however, appropriate testing or interpretation may be compromised or delayed in some instances. If not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.



Specimen Required
