Unit Code 83001:
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) Known Mutation

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Confirmation of FAP diagnosis

 

Predictive testing for FAP when a mutation has been identified in

an affected family member

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request

Documentation of the specific familial mutation must be provided

with the specimen in order to perform this test.

Reflex Tests Lists test(s) that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial test(s)

 Unit Code  Reporting Name  Available Separately  Always Performed 
82554 Follow Up PCR No No
82555 DNA Sequence, Follow-up Analysis No No
88873 FAP Large Del/Dup No No

Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

When this test is ordered, follow-up PCR, DNA sequencing follow-

up analysis, or FAP large deletion/duplication testing will be

performed and charged dependent upon the type of mutation

previously identified in the family.
