When this test is ordered, a fibroblast culture and cryopreservation for biochemical studies will always be performed at an additional charge. However, for multiple assays on a patient utilizing fibroblast culture, only 1 culture is required regardless of the number of assays ordered. If viable cells are not obtained within 30 days, client will be notified.
See Newborn Screening Follow-up for Isolated C5 Acylcarnitines Elevations (also applies to any plasma or serum C5 acylcarnitine elevations) in Special Instructions.
This test is recommended only after appropriate analyte testing, including acylcarnitines, organic acids, acylglycines, and/or fatty acids (ACRN / Acylcarnitines, Quantitative, Plasma; OAU / Organic Acids Screen, Urine; ACYLG / Acylglycines, Quantitative, Urine; FAPCP / Fatty Acid Profile, Comprehensive [C8-C26], Serum), has been performed.
