Cultured Skin Cell Test Related To Alzheimer Disease

California rates for HCPCS 0206U

A laboratory test related to Alzheimer disease that is performed on a patient's skin cells after they have been grown in the laboratory. Two things are examined: how much the cells clump together, and the level of a protein called protein kinase C-epsilon, measured with an antibody-based method. The findings are reported as a present-or-absent result rather than as a numeric score.
