| SDHBS | 31631 | SDH Subunit B Gene Analysis | No | Yes |
| SDHBQ | 89557 | SDH Subunit B Gene Sequencing | No | Yes |
Additional Tests Lists test(s) that are always performed, at an additional charge, with the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Test Number | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENDEX | 28640 | DNA Extraction | No | Yes |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
When this test is ordered, both SDH subunit B gene analysis (amplification) and SDH subunit B gene sequencing will be performed. DNA extraction will always be performed at an additional charge.
