Method Comparison and Clinical Specificity Study: Evaluation of the Infinium HD Cytogenetic Abnormality Test

Method Comparison - Sample Inclusion Criteria

The following are criteria for inclusion of extracted genomic DNA samples in the method comparison sample pool:

1. Sample is from a patient referred for post-natal cytogenetic testing.
2. Sample gender is known.
3. Sample quantity available for testing is ≥ 1 microgram of genomic DNA at a concentration of 60-80 nanograms per microliter (60-80ng/µl).
4. Sample is extracted genomic DNA from EDTA or heparin-anticoagulated whole blood.
5. Sample has been stored at 2 to 8°C or -15 to -25°C for no greater than three years from the date of extraction.
6. Sample has been tested by a reference method. Acceptable reference methods include karyotype, FISH, qPCR, MLPA, and methylation analysis.

Method Comparison - Sample Exclusion Criteria

1. Sample is from a patient not referred for post-natal cytogenetic testing.
2. Sample is from a patient referred for cytogenetic oncology testing.
3. Sample quantity < 1 microgram of genomic DNA or less than 60 nanograms per microliter (60ng/µl).
4. Sample was improperly stored or was extracted from a sample that was improperly stored.
5. Sample was tested by an Illumina array during standard of care testing.

Clinical Specificity - Sample Inclusion Criteria

The following are criteria for inclusion of extracted genomic DNA samples in the clinical specificity sample pool:

1. Sample gender is known.
2. Sample is from a patient not referred for post-natal cytogenetic testing.
3. Sample quantity available for testing is ≥ 1 microgram of genomic DNA at a concentration of at least 60-80 nanograms per microliter (60-80ng/µl).
4. Sample is extracted genomic DNA from EDTA or heparin-anticoagulated whole blood.
5. Sample has been stored at 2 to 8°C or -15 to -25°C for no greater than three years from the date of extraction.

Clinical Specificity - Sample Exclusion Criteria

1. Sample is from a patient referred for post-natal cytogenetic testing.
2. Sample quantity < 1 microgram of genomic DNA or less than 60 nanograms per microliter (60ng/µl).
3. Sample was improperly stored or was extracted from a sample that was improperly stored.
