Tests For Which Buccal Brushes Cannot Be Used

Molecular cytogenetic tests including:
  • Affymetrix Resequencing Arrays: Noonan/LEOPARD/Cardio-Facio-Cutaneous/Costello Syndromes panel and Periodic Fever Syndromes Panel
  • GenomeDx: whole-genome aCGH
  • FISH on Chip: targeted aCGH for common microdeletion/microduplication syndromes and all subtelomeres

Deletion/duplication tests (whether ordered as an independent test or as a reflex test following sequencing)
  • ExonArrayDx: aCGH-based test to detect a deletion/duplication of one or more exons in a single gene or a panel of genes
  • CopyDx: custom gene copy number analysis for any gene or chromosomal region
  • Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplication-MLPA: gene copy number analysis for selected genes

Please note that the minimum age for which we can accept buccal brush specimens in infants is 6 months. 1-2 mL of whole blood in EDTA (purple top tube) is required for babies under 6 months of age.

* For HCM/DCM and other Cardiac Genetic Testing Panels, blood samples are preferred. Please inquire about other specimen types.
