Test Code PMARG Postmortem Arrhythmia Gene Panel, Tissue


Ordering Guidance


This test is intended for use when whole blood is not available and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is the only available specimen. If whole blood is available, consider CARGG / Comprehensive Arrhythmia Gene Panel, Varies

 

Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known variants testing) is available for the genes on this panel. See FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.



Specimen Required


Specimen Type: Tissue block

Collection Instructions: Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue block

Additional Information: Testing will be attempted on blocks of any age but may be canceled if adequate DNA concentration cannot be obtained.


Forms
