Prenatal DHCR7 Gene Sequencing
FORMS AND DOCUMENTS
TEST DETAILS
- Genes:
- DHCR7
- Disorders:
- Clinical Utility:
-
- Full gene sequencing for fetuses with increased 7-DHC levels measured in amniotic fluid or CVS tissue.
- In the case of ultrasound findings and/or abnormal maternal serum screening suggestive of SLOS and no family history, prenatal measurement of 7-DHC levels is recommended as a first step.
- Mutation-specific testing for fetuses with a family history of two known DHR7 mutations.
- Lab Method:
- Capillary Sequencing
ORDERING
- Test Code:
- 2503
- Turnaround Time:
- 2-3 weeks
- Preferred Specimen:
- 20 mL Amniotic Fluid
- Alternative Specimen:
- 20 mg CVS, 2 T25 flasks of cultured amniocytes, 2 T25 flasks of cultured chorionic villi
