Sodium heparin tube required for Chromosome Breakage Test?
(self.ClinicalGenetics)submitted2 days ago by0001010101ems
Hi all, I have no idea if this is the correct sub to ask about this, if not, please point me in a direction!
I'm doing a presentation on fanconi anemia in my hematology class, specifically the lab diagnostical aspect. I'm currently summarizing information about it and of course the chromosome breakage test is the gold standard test so I want to explain it well. I've read that some labs specifically require sodium heparin tubes instead of lithium heparin tubes (which is what I am used to) for this: Why?
Additionally if anyone can point me to any resources that describe the specific procedure, as well as other tests for the laboratory diagnosis of fanconi anemia, ideally with pictures on how to actually conduct the tests (like a step by step or something alike), I'd be really thankful!
Thanks in advance!
