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.
