1 CLINICAL GENETIC SERVICE Laboratory User Guides (Website version) January 2016 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GOVERNMENT OF HONG KONG SAR Page 1 of 10
2 Compared with the previous version of January 2015, several new items are implemented: 1. Common cancer NGS panel. 2. Polycystic kidney diseases NGS panel. 3. SOX2 gene testing. 4. ANTXR2 gene testing. Last updated on 12 January 2016 Page 2 of 10
3 The Clinical Genetic Service of the Department of Health in Hong Kong is a government-funded, tertiary referral centre that provides clinical, laboratory, counseling services related to genetic disorders. The function of the Genetic Laboratory is to back up Genetic Counseling Clinic within this Service. Presently the Laboratory accepts specimens only via the Genetic Counseling Clinic of the Clinical Genetic Service. For more information about the laboratory service, please call Enquire Telephone : (852) Fax : (852) so_cg@dh.gov.hk 1. Clinical Specimens Specimen Submission Information Cytogenetic testing: Molecular testing: 3 ml heparin blood 1 to 2 ml more for additional FISH study 3 ml EDTA blood Samples need to be identified accurately and patient should not be fasted for overnight. The container of specimen shall be labeled with patient s name (in capital letters) and the HK/Travel document number (2 unique identifiers). Each specimen must be accompanied with a requisition form. Please fill patient name in capital letters and the HK/Travel document number on the requisition form, which SHALL also include the followings: - Date of birth and sex - Date of specimen taken Remarks: - Date of request Blood will be rejected if clotted, hemolyzed or - Type of specimen quantity insufficient for Cytogenetic testing - Name and signature of physician requesting test - Name and institution of referring doctor - Type of test requested - Pedigree (if needed) 2. Delivering Specimens After blood taken, specimen should be delivered at the same day (before 5 PM) as soon as possible - Deliver at room temperature; - Store at 4 o C if unable to deliver at the same day. Never ice or freeze the blood; - In a plastic bag separately with the Requisition Form. To: 2/F, Laboratory, Cheung Sha Wan Jockey Club Clinic 2 Kwong Lee Road, Sham Shui Po Kowloon, Hong Kong Tel: (attention: Ms. Tse) (NEW) For operational need, it is advised to take blood and send on Monday or Tuesday or Friday for Cytogenetic testing. For DEB fragility testing, it is advised to take blood and send on Monday or Tuesday with the control sample. Whenever possible, the control should be appropriately matched with the characteristics of the test sample, such as sex, age, cigarette smoking and undercurrent illness. Further re-arrangement is necessary for the blood taken and delivery during or before public holidays. 3. Turnaround Time () For routine service cases: Cytogenetic testing: 28 calendar days (shortened) FISH: Molecular testing: 2- (refer to the table below) (shortened) For urgent cases: Cytogenetic testing: 8 calendar days Molecular testing: 7 calendar days for prenatal testing (mutation(s) must has been identified) and MLPA for trisomy 14 calendar days for mutational screening testing (amplicons < 10) Page 3 of 10
