Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) PhenoSense GT® (Monogram® Phenotype/Genotype)

CPT 87900; 87901; 87903; 87904(x12)
Synonyms
  • HIV-1 Resistance
  • PhenoSense GT®

Test Details

Methodology

Phenotype: polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and viral culture; genotype: polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. PhenoSense® and PhenoSense GT® are trademarks of Monogram Biosciences®.

Result Turnaround Time

16 - 22 days

Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.

Use

Determines viral phenotype and genotype resistance to three classes of commonly prescribed antiretroviral drugs: nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI), nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI), and protease inhibitors (PI). Viral replication capacity is also included.

Special Instructions

A separate frozen specimen is required for each frozen test ordered. This assay is a combined assay in which HIV genotype and HIV phenotype is performed.

Limitations

This procedure should be used for patients with documented HIV-1 infection and viral loads ≥500 copies/mL.

Specimen Requirements

Specimen

Plasma, frozen

Volume

3 mL

Container

Lavender-top (EDTA) or plasma preparation tube (PPT™)

Collection Instructions

Collect specimen in two lavender-top (EDTA) tubes or two PPT™ tubes. Do not use green-top (heparin) tubes. Centrifuge specimen within six hours of collection. Transfer plasma to one or more polypropylene screw-capped tube(s) (not "pop-top" or "snap-cap"), and freeze. Ship specimen frozen. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen samples, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

Storage Instructions

Freeze

Causes for Rejection

PPT™ not centrifuged; quantity not sufficient for analysis; heparinized plasma; nonfrozen specimen; specimen exposed to repeated freeze/thaw cycles; specimen received in “pop-top” or “snap-cap” tube
