Test ID: CFP    
Cystic Fibrosis Mutation Analysis, 106-Mutation Panel, Varies

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Confirmation of a clinical diagnosis of cystic fibrosis

 

Risk refinement via carrier screening for individuals in the general population

 

Prenatal diagnosis or familial mutation testing when the familial mutations are included in the 106-mutation panel listed above (if familial mutations are not included in the 106-mutation panel, order FMTT / Familial Mutation, Targeted Testing)

 

Risk refinement via carrier screening for individuals with a family history when familial mutations are not available

 

Identification of patients who may respond to CFTR potentiator therapy

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

106-Mutation panel includes the 23 mutations recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG).

Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.

Test IDReporting NameAvailable SeparatelyAlways Performed
CULFBFibroblast Culture for Genetic TestYesNo
CULAFAmniotic Fluid Culture/Genetic TestYesNo
MATCCMaternal Cell Contamination, BYesNo

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

For prenatal specimens only: If amniotic fluid (nonconfluent cultured cells) is received, amniotic fluid culture/genetic test will be added and charged separately. If chorionic villus specimen (nonconfluent cultured cells) is received, fibroblast culture for genetic test will be added and charged separately. For any prenatal specimen that is received, maternal cell contamination studies will be added.
