The molecular genetics laboratory is part of the Molecular Pathology Laboratories in charge of testing for molecular markers important in many inherited conditions. Our current testing menu includes:
- CFTR Full Gene Sequencing
- Chimerism Post Transplant
- Chimerism Post Transplant Panel (CD3 and CD33)
- Chimerism Pre Transplant Donor
- Chimerism Pre Transplant Recipient
- Genetics Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Screen
- Genetics Cystic Fibrosis Genotype
- Genetics Fragile X Syndrome
- Genetics Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome
- Genetics Spinal Muscular Atrophy Diagnostic SMN1 and SMN2
- Maternal Cell Contamination Genotyping
All specimens submitted for analysis must be accompanied by a requisition form.
Samples may be submitted in several ways:
- Peripheral blood/ bone marrow samples (should be collected in EDTA only).
- Body fluid samples (require a dedicated sample).
- Tubes that have been opened and samples for obtained for other tests will be considered on a case-by-case basis (at the director's discretion).
Normal turnaround time is estimated to be 17 days except for Chimerism Post Transplant testing which is 4 days.
