HelpTest Code NADF Newborn Aneuploidy Detection, FISH, Blood
Reporting Name
Newborn Aneuploidy Detection, FISHPerforming Laboratory
Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester
Useful For
Screening for chromosomal aneuploidies of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y in newborn peripheral blood specimens
Method Name
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)
Ordering Guidance
This test does not detect aneuploidy of chromosomes other than 13, 18, 21, X, or Y. This test does not detect other chromosomal or structural anomalies and is intended to be ordered in conjunction with chromosomal microarray or chromosome analysis.
Low levels of mosaicism involving chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, or Y may not be detected by this procedure.
Additional Testing Requirements
Normal fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results will not exclude the majority of cytogenetically detectable abnormalities. FISH testing should be ordered in conjunction with additional cytogenetic testing (CHRCB / Chromosome Analysis, Congenital Disorders, Blood; or CMACB / Chromosomal Microarray, Congenital, Blood), as it does not substitute for complete cytogenetic analysis.
Shipping Instructions
Advise Express Mail or equivalent if not on courier service.
Necessary Information
A reason for testing is requested with each specimen. The laboratory will not reject testing if this information is not provided; however, appropriate testing or interpretation may be compromised or delayed in some instances. If not provided, an appropriate indication for testing may be entered by Mayo Clinic Laboratories.
Specimen Required
Container/Tube:
Preferred: Green top (sodium heparin)
Acceptable: Lavender top (EDTA) or yellow top (ACD)
Specimen Volume: 4 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Invert several times to mix blood.
2. Send specimen in original tube. Do not aliquot.
3. Other anticoagulants are not recommended and are harmful to the viability of the cells.
4. Cord blood is acceptable.

All specimens will be evaluated at Mayo Clinic Laboratories for test suitability.Reference Values
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
When no significant abnormalities are detected by the targeted fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes, a simple descriptive interpretation is provided. When abnormal results are detected, a detailed interpretation is given, including an overview of the results and of their significance, a correlation to available clinical information, recommendations for additional testing, and contact information for the laboratory if there are additional questions.

Testing Algorithm
This test includes a charge for the probe application, analysis, and professional interpretation of results for one probe set (2 individual fluorescence in situ hybridization probes). Additional charges will be incurred for additional probe sets performed. Analysis charges will be incurred based on the number of cells analyzed per probe set. If no cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred.
Appropriate ancillary probes may be performed at consultant discretion to render comprehensive assessment. Any additional probes will have the results included within the final report and will be performed at an additional charge.
