HelpTest Code GNTHR Thrombosis Disorders, Comprehensive Gene Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies
Ordering Guidance
Special coagulation testing for evaluating patients with thrombosis or hypercoagulability states should be performed prior to genetic testing. For more information see AATHR / Thrombophilia Profile, Plasma and Whole Blood.
This test is designed to evaluate a variety of thrombophilia.
This test is not designed to evaluate for a single common hereditary thrombosis disorder, such as when an individual has a known family history of antithrombin deficiency, protein C deficiency, or protein S deficiency, specifically. If testing for a particular common hereditary thrombosis disorder is desired, single gene tests are available for the SERPINC1, PROC, and PROS1 genes. See GNANT / Antithrombin Deficiency, SERPINC1 Gene, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies; GNPRC / Protein C Deficiency, PROC Gene, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies; or GNPRS / Protein S Deficiency, PROS1 Gene, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.
This test is not designed to evaluate for hereditary bleeding disorders. If bleeding is the indication for testing and testing for hereditary bleeding disorders is desired, bleeding panels are available. See GNBLF / Bleeding Disorders, Focused Gene Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies or GNBLC / Bleeding Disorders, Comprehensive Gene Panel, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies
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 mutations 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
Rare Coagulation Disorder 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.
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.

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. Rare Coagulation Disorder Patient Information (T824) 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:

Useful For
Evaluating hereditary thrombosis in patients with a personal or family history suggestive of a hereditary thrombosis disorder
Confirming a hereditary thrombosis disorder diagnosis with the identification of a known or suspected pathogenic alteration in one or more of 16 genes associated with a variety of hereditary thrombosis disorders
Determining the disease-causing alterations within one or more of these 16 genes to delineate the underlying molecular defect in a patient with a laboratory diagnosis of a thrombosis disorder
Identifying the causative alteration for genetic counseling purposes
Prognosis and risk assessment based on the genotype-phenotype correlations
Carrier testing for close family members of an individual with a hereditary thrombosis disorder diagnosis
This test is not intended for prenatal diagnosis.
Testing Algorithm
A systematic diagnosis through conventional coagulation testing is recommended prior to considering genetic testing for any suspected thrombosis disorder.
Genetic testing for a hereditary thrombosis disorder is indicated if:
-Coagulation tests indicate a deficiency or functional abnormality (note these tests are best performed in medically stable patients who are not receiving particular anticoagulants)
-There is a clinical suspicion for a hereditary thrombosis disorder due to family history or atypical clinical presentation
-Acquired causes of deficiencies associated with thrombosis have been excluded (eg, vitamin K deficiency, oral anticoagulation with coumarin compounds, liver disease, intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis/disseminated intravascular coagulation)
However, no screening test exists for detecting defects in a subset of genes on this panel, such as PROCR and THBD. If the thrombotic tendency is a concern, a set of clinical guidelines from the British Society for Haematology on testing for heritable thrombophilia is freely available.(1)
