Ordering instructions

A physician can order the test using NYGC’s test requisition form and must obtain informed consent from the patient (in pediatric cases, the child’s parents) being tested. This test requires 5ml of blood drawn in an EDTA tube or saliva specimen collected in an Oragene Dx collection kit or DNA extracted in a CLIA-certified laboratory. Samples should be shipped to NYGC overnight via FedEx. A courier service may also be feasible.
