| Test ID | Secondary ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FAPLD | 88873 | FAP Large Del/Dup | No | No |
| FUSEQ | 82555 | DNA Sequence, Follow-up Analysis | 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, 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.
