Please download the Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders Screening Tests Requisition Form (PDF) and include in the shipment of the skin fibroblasts.

Patient and Billing Information
For cultures sent by mail to our laboratory, we only bill the referring hospital or laboratory for these tests. We suggest having the Department of Pathology in your hospital send the sample to us. The requisition form should be included with fibroblast cultures and clinical and biochemical information.

Monday through Thursday
Ship two T-25 (25cm2) flasks of confluent fibroblasts obtained from skin biopsy and routine fibroblast tissue culture to the above address by overnight express accompanied by clinical and biochemical data and the billing information sheet.

3H-Acyl-carnitine profiling by radio-HPLC in intact cultured fibroblast monolayers to screen for all known disorders of 尾-oxidation, excluding riboflavin-responsive variants and all methylmalonic acidemias: $998.25 (CPT codes 82017+88233+82542), with physician interpretation (CPT code 80500).

Prenatal Diagnosis
Prenatal diagnosis on amniocytes is possible for virtually all fatty acid oxidation disorders. However, before we will accept amniocyte samples from a referring laboratory, please contact William J. Rhead, MD, PhD directly at (414) 266-2906. In addition to 2 confluent T-25 flasks of amniocytes from the proband fetus, we require amniocytes from 2 anonymous control pregnancies, 2 T-25s each. Further details can be obtained directly from Dr. Rhead.

3H-Acyl-carnitine profiling by radio-HPLC in amniocytes to screen for all known disorders of 尾-oxidation, excluding riboflavin-responsive variants and all methylmalonic acidemias: $998.50 (CPT codes 88235+82542), with physician interpretation (CPT code 80500).

These analyses are non-experimental, non-investigational and not in conflict with medical standards. This laboratory and Children's Wisconsin has been accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the College of American Pathologists, CLIA (52D0661957), and HCFA (license number 16-0058). Dr. Rhead is board-certified in Clinical Biochemical Genetics by the American Board of Medical Genetics.
