Help determine affected or carrier status for the 32 most common CF mutations
This assay detects as many as 90% of cystic fibrosis carriers in the Caucasian population. Within other ethnic groups, there may be higher or lower detection efficiency. Includes the mutation profile currently recommended by the ACMG and the ACOG.
Specimen
Immediately following collection, mix sample thoroughly by gently inverting 8 - 10, times to prevent clotting
Whole blood tube should be sent to the lab unopened.
It is preferable not to perform additional testing on original tubes prior to PCR testing.
