Test Code NCDA Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia Gene Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies


Ordering Guidance


Multiple hematology gene panels are available. For more information, see NHHA and Subpanel Comparison Gene List.

 

Customization of this panel and single gene analysis for any gene present on this panel are available. For more information see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.

 

Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known variants testing) is available for the genes on this panel. See FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.



Shipping Instructions


Specimen preferred to arrive within 96 hours of collection.


Necessary Information


1. Metabolic Hematology Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Patient Information is required. Testing may proceed without the patient information, however, the information aids in providing a more thorough interpretation. Ordering providers are strongly encouraged to fill out the form and send with the specimen.

2. If form not provided, include the following information with the test request: clinical diagnosis, pertinent clinical history (ie, complete blood cell count results and relevant clinical notes) and differentials based on any previous bone marrow studies, clinical or morphologic presentation.



Specimen Required


Specimen Type: Whole blood

Patient Preparation: A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with testing. Call 800-533-1710 for instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant.

Container/Tube:

Preferred: Lavender top (EDTA)

Acceptable: Yellow top (ACD)

Specimen Volume: 3 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Invert several times to mix blood.

2. Send whole blood specimen in original tube. Do not aliquot.

Specimen Stability Information: Ambient (preferred) 4 days/Refrigerated


Forms

1. Metabolic Hematology Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Patient Information (T816) is required.

2. New York Clients-Informed consent is required. Document on the request form or electronic order that a copy is on file. The following documents are available:

Clinical Information

Next-generation sequencing is a methodology that can interrogate large regions of genomic DNA in a single assay. The presence and pattern of gene variants can provide critical diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information for managing physicians.

 

This panel aids in the diagnosis and genetic counseling of individuals with clinical or familial features of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA). CDA is a disorder of ineffective erythropoiesis clinically subdivided into subtypes with various phenotypic findings that segregate into different gene associations.(1-6) These disorders have distinctive cytopathologic findings consisting of nuclear abnormalities in bone marrow erythroid precursors. Types I and II CDA are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, whereas types III and IV are autosomal dominant.
