Unit Code 88876:
CFTR Gene, Full Gene Analysis

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

Follow-up testing to identify mutations in individuals with a clinical

diagnosis of CF and a negative targeted mutation analysis for the

common mutations

 

This is not the preferred genetic test for carrier screening or initial

diagnosis. For these situations, order #9497 "Cystic Fibrosis Diagnosis

and Carrier Detection".

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

Not the preferred first-tier molecular test for carrier screening or

diagnosis. Used to identify mutations in individuals with a clinical

diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) when #9497 "Cystic Fibrosis

Mutation Analysis, 70-Mutation Panel" is negative or uninformative.
