Clinical Utility

This panel is specifically designed to diagnose the most common genetic causes of bone marrow failure including dyskeratosis congenita, Diamond Blackfan anemia, Fanconi anemia, congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, familial bone marrow failure, Schwachman Diamond syndrome, congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia/other syndromic thrombocytppenia, and inherited causes of neutropenia.

Specimen and Container Info

Specimen Type: Bone Marrow

Alternate Specimen Type: Whole Blood

Collection Container: Lavender Top (EDTA)

Desired Specimen Volume: 3 mL

Collection Instructions
  1. Collect a lavender top (EDTA) tube via venipuncture.
Processing and Submission Instructions

A Cincinnati Children's GENETICS AND GENOMICS DIAGNOSTIC LABORATORY requisition is required for testing.

  1. Transport 3 mL of bone marrow or whole blood in the original collection container.
  2. Protect from extreme temperatures.
  3. If this volume is not able to be obtained the reference lab will attempt to perform the test requested. The reference lab cannot assure either a result and/or the ability to perform repeat testing and/or additional testing if the minimum volumes are not met.
Transport Instructions

Transport to the laboratory at room temperature.  

Stability Requirements

Room Temperature

7 days
