Ordering WES (Whole Exome Sequencing) Test (HAEM)
Any questions, please contact ATGC: mobile 0466 713 351 Email [email protected], or phone 3443 7280.
Send the Bone Marrow sample to SI lab. Send the Hair sample to CSR.
Send the consent form with the sample (with bone marrow or hair, in the sample bag), and/or email to the lab.
Consent Form 1. Complete a Consent Form with the patient (Hyperlink: Informed Consent for Paired
Tumour / Germline Gene Testing (QIS 34575, version 3))
NOTE: Do not use photocopied consent templates – please email [email protected] for more copies.
2. Affix patient labels to each page.
3. SEND ORIGINAL CONSENT FORM TO CSR. The consent form can be sent on its own.
(Alternatively, if consented at BMAT, can send with the Bone Marrow to SI lab.)
4. To organise consenting of patients, please phone Lisa Waugh/ATGC: 0466 713 351.
Bone Marrow Tumour Sample Ordering the paired TUMOUR sample for Whole Exome Sequencing.
1. In Cerner iEMR, go to the Pathology Order
Request page
2. Search for test code WES (Whole Exome
Somatic Analysis), and select.
3. Specify the sample type as “BONE MARROW”
4. Tick the clinician collect tick box.
5. Save the test.

Germline Hair sample Ordering the paired Germline HAIR sample for Whole Exome Sequencing.
5. In Cerner iEMR, go to the Pathology Order
Request page
6. Search for test code GERML (Collection for
Germline DNA), and select.
7. Specify sample type as “Hair”.
8. Tick the ‘clinician collect’ box.
9. Save the test.
10. Refer to instructions on Sample collection packet and pot, or expanded instructions below. Sample collection kits are available at 2E OPD and Ground Floor Day Care.
11. Label hair with sample label or encounter sticker.
12. Send hair pot, consent form, and tweezers to CSR.
Collecting Hair For any queries, please contact the ATGC lab: 0466 713 351.
Label the sample pot with the patient sticker (GERML sticker or encounter sticker). Collect approx. 30 hairs with bulb using the sterile tweezers provided in the packet. Use the tweezers to grasp the hair near the base of the hair shaft. Return the tweezers in the sample packet for the lab to re-sterilise. Placing pressure on the site of hair removal (pressing hand or finger into skin) immediately
after plucking the hair can reduce pain and discomfort for the patient. The best site to sample will depend on the patient. Eyebrows generally yield a good bulb
and the short length is easy to manage. Other suitable sites include the head, arms, legs or beard.
The main factor in deciding where to sample hair from, is choosing a site where the hair comes out with the bulb attached, and this is generally more successful with thicker hairs.
Place the hairs into the sample pot. The pot contains a piece of filter paper lining it to prevent static and assist with releasing hairs into the pot.
With the sample pot and tweezers in the sealed section of the sample bag/packet, and the consent form/s in the back pocket, send the packet (pot, tweezers and forms) to CSR.
