Enrollment Deadline: 10 April 2026

This test is open for enrollment via credit card only. Please select credit card as the payment method during the checkout process if your order includes this test or any Late Order Purchase (LOP) tests.

Participants will analyze a single human blood sample for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers using specialized SNP genotyping platforms. This test is designed to evaluate the participant’s ability to generate a SNP profile. The participant will be requested to upload their SNP data to the CTS Portal. Data from any SNP technology will be accepted and compared to consensus data, which is currently derived from the marker sets provided by the platform ForenSeq Kintelligence. Please note that each test enrollment allows for the submission and comparison of data for a single genotyping kit. All SNP data will be accepted and compared to consensus data, which is currently derived from the marker sets provided by the platform ForenSeq Kintelligence. To provide the most detailed data comparison, all submitted profiles will be compared against the this consensus; additionally, participants will receive a comparison of results of like kits or platforms (if reported by multiple participants), regardless of whether the 10-participant consensus threshold is met for those specific markers. As enrollment grows and data density increases, the scope of the established consensus will evolve to reflect the participant population. To meet annual proficiency requirements, this test is offered twice per year.

Sample Description: Choose between blood on an FTA™ Micro Card (Test 5911) or two Swabs (Test 5912). The genomic material provided in Tests 5911 and 5912 are sourced from the same donor and shipped at the same time, and reporting aspects are combined. A different donor source is used for Tests 5915/5916.

Samples ship in April.

Additional Information: SNP data should be based on human genome build hg 38; if you are unsure whether your kit uses this build, please contact CTS. Current acceptable SNP data formats include .txt, .csv, and .vcf. If your results are produced in another format, please contact CTS.

This test is pending inclusion on CTS' Scope of Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17043.
