Why is DNA Stored?
Preserves an individual’s DNA sample for future reference
Useful when additional genetic testing may be required later
Can support future molecular and genetic investigations
Helps avoid repeated sample collection when an appropriate stored sample is available
Who May Benefit?
Individuals undergoing genetic testing
Families with a history of inherited disorders
Patients requiring future genetic or molecular investigations
Individuals who wish to preserve a DNA sample for future use
Sample: DNA extracted from an appropriate clinical specimen Test Type: Sample preservation / DNA banking Report: Storage confirmation and relevant sample details, as applicable
