The purpose of the Genetic Testing Reference Materials Coordination Program
(GeT-RM) is to help the genetic testing community obtain appropriate and
characterized reference materials. This page has links to tables containing
information on reference materials characterized by the GeT-RM program and a
previous CDC project. These materials
have been tested in several independent laboratories using a variety of test
methods. New materials will be added to these tables as they are characterized.
We have also included tables listing information on
available cell lines and other materials for selected disorders. Not all of the
materials listed in these tables have been characterized by the GeT-RM program.
Some of the listed materials have only been assayed by the submitter to the repository.
Others have been further characterized by researchers, clinical laboratories or
commercial manufacturers. Information on the characterization status of each material
is shown. As the GeT-RM program proceeds, we will be updating the status of listed
materials and adding information on materials available for other disorders.
Available materials for selected disorders*:
- Cystic fibrosis materials
- Fragile X Materials
- Huntington disease materials - Characterized by GeT-RM (PDF)
- Pharmacogenetic loci
- Ashkenazi Jewish Panel materials (Bloom syndrome, Canavan disease, Fanconi anemia type C, familial dysautonomia, Gaucher disease, glycogen storage disease type 1a, Mucolipidosis IV, Niemann-Pick disease, Tay-Sachs disease)
- Materials developed and characterized by previous CDC project (nonsyndromic deafness, craniosynostosis/Muenke, cystic fibrosis, fragile X, hemochromatosis, Huntington disease, MTHFR, alpha-thalassemia, factor V, prothrombin, sickle cell)
Synthetic Reference Materials*

and other materials. Inclusion of
commercially available materials on this list does not constitute an endorsement of such materials by the
CDC and no endorsement shall be stated or inferred.
