Order Code LAB4770 Prothrombin G20210A Mutation, Blood

Additional Codes

Mayo Test Code: PTNT

 


Ordering Guidance


This assay will only detect the F2 c.*97G>A (rs1799963) variant associated with thrombophilia. To detect other pathogenic alterations in the F2 gene of a patient with a laboratory diagnosis of thrombophilia, order F2NGS / F2 Gene Next Generation Sequencing, Varies.

 

This assay will not detect alterations in individuals with thrombophilia caused by mechanisms other than the F2 c.*97G>A variant. For those situations consider ordering AATHR / Thrombophilia Profile, Plasma and Whole Blood.



Specimen Required


Patient Preparation: A previous bone marrow transplant from an allogenic donor will interfere with testing. Call 800-533-1710 for instructions for testing patients who have received a bone marrow transplant.

Container/Tube:

Preferred: Lavender top (EDTA)

Acceptable: Yellow top (ACD solution B), light-blue top (sodium citrate)

Specimen Volume: 3 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Invert several times to mix blood.

2. Send specimen in original tube. Do not aliquot.
