| Instructions | Specimen Type: Whole blood or PurFlock buccal swab kit or Oragene Dx saliva kit Specimen Volume: 8.5 mL whole blood or PurFlock buccal swab kit or Oragene Dx saliva kit Mininum Volume: 3 mL whole blood or PurFlock buccal swab kit or Oragene Dx saliva kit Collection: Standard phlebotomy. Follow PurFlock buccal swab kit or Oragene Dx 500 saliva kit collection instructions. Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum 30 min prior to collection. Specimen Storage: Maintain specimen at room temperature or refrigerate at 4C Do not freeze. Special Instructions: The specific gene(s) to be analyzed must be indicated on the test requisition form. Failure to indicate the gene(s) will result in testing delays. Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) will be reported unless VUS opt out is indicated on the requisition. Test orders must include an attestation that the provider has the patient's informed consent for genetic testing. |

| GENERAL INFORMATION | |
|---|---|
| Expected TAT | 14 - 21 days In some cases, additional time may be required for confirmatory or reflex tests. |
| Clinical Use | This test includes all genes included in any Inheritest® or GeneSeq®: Cardio panel except SMN1 and FMR1. Technologies used do not detect germline mosaicism and do not rule out the presence of large chromosomal aberrations including rearrangements and gene fusions, or variants in regions or genes not included in this test, or possible inter/intragenic interactions between variants or repeat expansions. Variant classification and/or interpretation may change over time if more information becomes available. False positive or false negative results may occur for reasons that include: rare genetic variants, sex chromosome abnormalities, pseudogene interference, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplantation, somatic or tissue-specific mosaicism, mislabeled samples or erroneous representation of family relationships. |
