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:

-Informed Consent for Genetic Testing (T576)

-Informed Consent for Genetic Testing-Spanish (T826)

3. If not ordering electronically, complete, print, and send a Benign Hematology Test Request (T755) with the specimen.

Useful For

Genetic confirmation of a dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis-2/hereditary xerocytosis diagnosis with the identification of an alteration known or suspected to cause disease in the KCNN4 gene

 

Second-tier testing for patients in whom previous targeted gene variant analyses were negative for a specific red blood cell (RBC) membrane disorder

 

Establishing a diagnosis of a hereditary RBC membrane disorder, allowing for appropriate management and surveillance of disease features based on the gene involved, especially if splenectomy is a consideration
